Esther Phillips - Home is where the hatred is

This is an album ordered about three months back. It arrived this week. This is the leading track.The story here is that Esther was up against Aretha Franklin for a Grammy award ( Soul). Aretha won but she walked over to Esther and handed her the gold plated grammophone saying Esther should have won. The song is about Esther's early drug addiction problem, which she eventually conquered after a year in one of America's toughest rehabs, but which would eventually cause her early death at 48 due to kidney failure which was started by the drug addiction. This is the saddest song I've ever heard.
