4MyEgo Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Like the rest of us, the hour glass only pours one way, if she doesn't make it, may she not suffer. Thanks for years of beautiful music, "I say a little pray for you". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaiguzzi Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 IMHO, the greatest female singer of all time, black or white. ************************* Off topic, but if people like white singers, in the mold of Joplin, check out someone I just came across last week - Cee Cee James - that woman has got a pair of tonsils!
