There's a subtlety about Esther Phillips' voice that just stands out to me. It's weird because her voice is unique and smokey. There's nothing really subtle about it. Sometimes before or in between tracks Esther feels the need to just have a conversation with you and she goes off. She'll either talk to the ladies or just go off on a man.Unlike Aretha Franklin or Billie Holiday, Esther makes you feel what she's feeling. It's as though she lets you in. Overall, she is amazing.
