maqroll Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 A true legend who mastered different music styles and was as big an influence on younger singers over the years as anyone. A sad loss. R.I.P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dAVe80 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Sad news, although not unexpected. Was announced a couple of weeks back that she was ill. A fantastic voice, and a truly great artist. RIP. Something's Got A Hold On Me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted January 20, 2012 Moderator Share Posted January 20, 2012 Great voice but such a tragic life with all her addictions and troubles. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veloman Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 A proper singer with believable emotion in her recordings. Yeah spot-on. I had one LP of hers called 'Rock The House' in the 60's but think it got knicked at a party (or my ex. took it !) Just out of interest, check out her version of 'I'd rather go blind'. This was covered by Midlands band 'Chicken Shack which featured an ace guitarist called Stan Webb but was sung by one Christine Perfect - her of Fleetwood Mac and came from Bearwood.
