Would that be the ultimate way of loving another to set her/him free? Heartbreaking and with such a voice like Esther a true killer, but also graduation on the certification of LOVE !!!

The lyrics of this priceless song

(Narrative)
I was out having dinner with a couple of friends of mine the other day
And we finished eating I walked outside to get a little fresh air
The place was a liitle hot and smokey and I was a little lonesome
And when I walked back inside I could see in her face, there was terrible arguement going on and I heard him say to her in a soft voice, "why don't you, why don't you just set me free."

If you think you've had enough
If you think our life's been rough
Why not take your loveline off of me
And set me free
If you think our love's all wrong
And you feel the fire is gone
If i'm not what you'd like for me to be
Come on and set me free

(Narrative)
Then I heard him say

Set me free and let me fly
Like a bluebird flying high
Release the chains that bind you and me
And set me free

(Narrative)
And as I stood there listen to them argue
I said I didn't know what was going on between to two of you, because they seem to be so happy. And I thought to myself, I hope this never happens to my love-afair, because I don't think I could stand to hear my baby say to me; "Baby set me free, hey baby set me free, huh"

Set me free and let me fly
Like a bluebird flying high
Release the chains that bind you and me
Hey baby set me free

Choir
Set me free, set me free

Set me free and let me fly
I wanna fly Like a bluebird flying high
Release the chains that bind you and me
Come on and set me free

Choir
Set me free, set me free

Set me free, I just got to fly now
I wanna fly Like a bluebird flying high
Release the chains that bind you and me
Come on and set me free

What a voice!

StaceyDMify

one of the BEST versions of this R&B classic.

jimmie darks

+StaceyDMify , long before Englebert Humperdinck.

Gerald Thorburn

That immediately identifiable ripple in her vocal tones and delivery makes Esther special. Unsurprisingly, this was a Nominee for 'Best Vocal Performance R&B Female' in 1970.

Linda Searcy

What a beautiful woman! The voice of an angel.

Quietstorm7 Jenkns

Love her voice

Robert Sjรถรถ

As often, her version was the best. Emotions in many directions...

Joan Rechards

Indeed... you're absolutely right ๐Ÿ’ฏโค๏ธ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿป

bazthehandyman

One gorgeous woman........ and a one in a hundred billion voice.

Lots of people can tell a story, but few can tell it like Little Esther.
