I hate death...i hate it....i love God..but this plan is just too painful for us to live through...i hate it. what does it matter if one day ill see the wisdom...i am in the now and it kills me..it rips me apart...im human and all i can feel is today, not tomorrow. Good Bye sweet...u left me down here below....with ur music...and memories of how u kept my company in song

I had no idea this woman had passed on-- sad. Her voice was filled with intrigue and mystery, and transported listeners to another time and place. I also remember her as the lead in "For the Love of Ivy," opposite Sidney Poitier (which for some reason studio execs did not take advantage of vocal skills that far outweighed her acting ability). This song bird will definitely be missed, but her music will live on forever.

One of the most sublime albums I possess is Abbey and Stan Getz. God bless.

[chicae62]

Rest in peace, Abbey! The minute I saw you strut onstage for the Katrina benefit my music life was changed forever. Your stage presence was alarming. As a middle-aged woman, I was thrilled! I'm just sad it took me so long to find you.

judebelly this beautiful tribute. it sounds like you lost a wonderful person in Mr Ken Bostock. The world could use a few more gardeners and Abbey's ... I hope you you don't mind, I put this tribute on my blog Steve's Notebook

[OrganNLou]

Truly one of the greats! She will always be remembered. I miss her already.

God's grace sung in jazz. Bless Abbey Lincoln! 

[bolekaja1]

Our Abby has moved on. i cry upon learning of her transition and i also celebrate her life, politics and musical legacy. Damn! She is awesome. Ah! This Sweet, Bad Sister touched me deeply... Wail on Sis! Sway the leaves on trees, caress the souls of those that suffered the Middle Passage and make winds blow gently for the birds and the gentle hearts that love you. Mm... Mm... Mm...
