I think she's changed a lot. And one of the most interesting ways she's grown as a singer-artist is in the way she responsibly deals with her loss of range. She may not be able to hit certain peaks anymore, but she restructures material to focus on her stronger lower register.
Hearing the difference Silver Spring in 1977 and Silver Springs in 1997 is merely one example of how she is able to transform old material. There is a clarity and wisdom in her voice now.
