  • @CharlesBarry I agree with you, her died was a shock to me and I adored her. I seen her a few times in concert. She is my favorite female singer. Her grand son even played the drums on one song he had to be 6 years old at that time. I hope she in heaven and Knows how much she was loved and her music will live on. Best wishes to her family. She will be greatly missed.
