I have never found that to be true throughout the 30 plus years I have been attending her concerts and communicating with her as a fan. I have always received personal responses from her, both written and by email, and when I sent my copy of her books to her to be signed they were always sent back to me with personal inscription. A JMDL list member wrote to her after the TNT special and she took the time to immediately respond to him and the list. There was a time back when she had nodes on her throat and had surgery to remove them. There was a period of about 3 years before she got her voice full strength. Having heard her live three times in the past 3 years I can assure you her voice is as pure and crystal clear as ever. Much more than most singers half her age. And after 40 years of performing and dozens of albums she still studies voice weekly in NYC. Jerry, an avid fan
