Wilfrid Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Another painful one. A very great beauty when I was growing up. Then an always interesting singer. I saw her once, Central Park Summerstage. 1999, apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve R. Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 ARGHH! One of my favorite live performers and one who could even make YouTube videos sound good. Her concert at St Ann's here in Brooklyn a number of years ago was incredible. I sat mesmerized by her voice as she did everything from "Sister Morphine" to "As Tears Go By" to "Working Class Hero" to "Broken English". Anyone who hasn't listened to this concert on CD (or however youngstas listen these days) should. The church had perfect acoustics and her backups included Garth Hudson and Dr. John. RIP.

Wilfrid Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 "Broken English." Yes, I have a lot to listen to tonight. And I still have this book... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve R. Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Mitch: trust me, I knew the # of years. Ginny & I got married at St Ann's in May '89 and then went to this concert there 6 months later. By the way, if you look at the comments section on that YouTube video, there I am 4 years ago, saying the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilfrid Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Well I did not know that Leopold von Sacher-Masoch was her great uncle. Thank you, London Review of Books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
