Such a loss. I wish she (and other people i admire) had lived forever.
ReplyDeleteAt least her music will.. =) Thanks for remembering her here.
She was and always will be one of my favourites. She was an amazing lady, in many ways, and will be missed!
ReplyDeleteI read her biography a couple of years back. Very interesting. She had such humiliating experiences because of racism, but didn't give up.
ReplyDeleteYes..it's pretty hard to understand the racism back then...
