Dear Eugene Wonderful analysis on Lorna, and what you say is absolutely true. Lorna has been a nightangle of Goa for years, and even today i love to hear her songs the old songs, even the ones with revised music. but unfortunately as you say, the songs she sings now a days dont give any credit to her voice.
Wished some song writers really made use of her voice, but unfortunately again, its wrong songwriters who make use of her talents. I wish she will continue singing but good songs which can be pleasure to listen for years to come.
