Expatthailover Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 (edited) A great great woman. World is a poorer place without her Wonder if trump will use his legendary invective and charm to honour the passing of another famous american who actually had talent and positively affected people? That she was female and a person of colour suggests he will say nothing or be dismissive/scathing given his renowned racist and misogynistic leanings. The man is a disgrace and all those who voted for him and support him need help. Edited September 1, 2018 by Expatthailover 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thingamabob Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 She was good, but both Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan were better. Anyway, RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
