Not a huge shock given her health problems but a arguably would be as big a loss from her era as Bowie and Prince were from theirs in terms of influence. Just watch any of American Idol type shows to see how many singers imitate her (or imitate singers who imitated her).

Awful, awful, awful news. My favourite singer of all time, bar none.
But then, given what she's been through in her life, we were incredibly lucky that we got to enjoy her voice - and her personality - for as long as we did.Last edited by blameless; 15-08-2018, 15:34.
