K.D. Lang will go down in history as one of this generation's most talented performers.

She's paved the way for modern women everywhere, following a road "less traveled" and, at times, controversial.

In spite of her phenomenal success, Lang remains humble and it is perhaps this attitude that spurs her to perfect her awesome talent, both as a performer and as a songwriter.

K. D.'s vocal ability is remarkably demonstrated in songs she has made uniquely her own.

*Her soaring duet of Crying (Live by Request) with Roy Orbison showed a vocal range that is nearly off the chart. The harmonies in this song are captivating.

* Her rendition of Hallelujah (Hymns of the 49th Parallel) is beautiful. She just "nails" this song. If ever a voice transcended to the heavens, her's did in this hymn.

*The Valley (Hymns of the 49th Parallel) is one song that is a special treat. It just gets better as it goes along. Lang shows a sensitivity and maturity befitting this reflective and haunting piece.

Whether singing Country, Jazz, or Torch, K.D. Lang has proven to be a versatile and brilliant artist.

Hello,

The duet is found on the album: "Live by Request." I included an album capsule here, if you click on it, it will take you to E-bay. I will install an Amazon capsule, as well, so that you can compare prices.

KD Lang has long been one of my favorite singers. She has an incredible voice that gives me goosebumps. "Cryin'" is still my favorite.
