“Shirley Sheppard’s lyrics touch your soul without being maudlin or melodramatic.  I’m hard to please in this respect, having a repertoire in excess of 15,000 songs and being a songwriter myself.  Shirley is right up there on the very top.  In a nutshell, every song I have heard of hers is hit material!  Oh, and she’s a whale of a vocalist as well.  All in all, a formidable yet pleasing package.”
