seeline Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 So sorry to hear this - she was amazing. The 1995 gospel album mentioned in that obit - "No Ways Tired" - is well worth tracking down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Bresnahan Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 Damn! All these years and I thought "Rescue Me" was Aretha's work. D'oh! RIP Fontella. I always love it when "Rescue Me" comes belting out of my speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Nessa Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 This is an expanded re-post of something I typed on Facebook (in response to a posting by Stephen Haynes): When Ann and I moved to Chicago in1966, Lester and Fontella were about the only married couple we knew. They were newly arrived from St. Louis, so we had that in common. Ann and I were remembering good times at their home on 74th St. She was a powerful woman.
