Once upon a time there was an angel, with a beautiful voice, who graced this earth. Her name was Nicolette Larson. She not only had a beautiful voice, but she was also a sweet, kind and gentle soul.I had the good fortune to meet Nicolette on several occasions in Nashville and was lucky enough to see her in concert at least five times. She was an incredible artist, wife and mother.Sadly, Nicolette passed away in 1997 from a cerebral aneurysm. I learned of Nicolette's passing from Matraca Berg, while attending a music business symposium in Nashville. I was immediately overcome with grief. Nicolette's music had been such an important part of my life and I could not fathom a world in which she did not live. Eleven years later, I still miss her terribly and listen to her music often.This song 'Give A Little', was recorded on her 1978 release, 'Nicolette', that was considered to be her breakthrough recording. The album contained her chart topping song, that is still played on the radio to this day -- 'Lotta Love'.'Give A Little' is a song that Nicolette sings about love, caring for others and charity for humanity. I believe that fostering charity is an important thing in we human beings.Whether we give of our time by volunteering or by making financial contributions, by the very nature of giving of ourselves, we make the world a better place for others. It's a way to show our love for humanity.As you watch this video and listen to Nicolette's beautiful voice, quietly ask yourself if there is something that you can do to help or comfort another person. Whether it's helping an elderly acquaintance, opening the door for a stranger, helping your child with their homework, dropping in on a family member or friend who is ill or whatever you chose to do to help or comfort another -- believe me, it will make the world a better place. You can always feel good about being charitable towards humanity, because that's a good very thing.
