My husband said the same thing, he was far more familiar with her than I
was. I had heard of her whereas he knew all about her. PBS's News Hour ran a
story with a clip of her singing on the Tavis Smiley not long ago. Wow!
It is a loss. She wanted to sing for Obama's Inaugaration and that would
have been something.
