Tret Fure, last with us for Song of the Soul in 2011, joins us to share her second sharing from the soul. Tret was among a group of women's music powerhouses of the 1970s and 1980s who were inspirational and transformational for the country, and for me, personally. With her gentle but resolute heart, and her deep musical talent, Tret calls listeners into community and growth. Tret joins us from Newport News, Virginia, for her second Song of the Soul.
