small h Posted January 30, 2025 Posted January 30, 2025 https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp8k931j423o My favorite guest on AbFab (among other things, of course) 1 Quote
Wilfrid Posted January 30, 2025 Posted January 30, 2025 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
Steve R. Posted January 30, 2025 Posted January 30, 2025 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. Quote

Yeah, a pretty great show (By the way, that "number of years"...35). Edited January 30, 2025 by MitchW Quote
Wilfrid Posted January 30, 2025 Posted January 30, 2025 "Broken English." Yes, I have a lot to listen to tonight. And I still have this book... Quote
Steve R. Posted January 31, 2025 Posted January 31, 2025 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

Wilfrid Posted February 23, 2025 Posted February 23, 2025 Well I did not know that Leopold von Sacher-Masoch was her great uncle. Thank you, London Review of Books. Quote
