A Song for the Ages and the Woman Who Wrote It: From the Cold War to COVID-19

I am unabashedly a woman in a man's world. I've never tried to play it like a man. And I've steered clear of being "femme" to get what I want. So maybe, on second thought, what I am is a bohemian, who is comfortable interacting in a man's world. The world I'm referring to is the music business. There have always been a few women who have somehow survived on talent and pluck. Or talent and destiny. To me, talent is a way of thinking, a way of looking at life. A woman needs to find her best talent and work it.
