RIP.  What one album of hers would fans recommend?

Aw, sad news. R.I.P. thank you for the lovely music!

I love her album "Swing, slow & cha, cha, cha". If you like dancing GA, I would give it a try.

Happy birthday to Della Reese, born July 6, 1931 in the Black Bottom neighborhood of Detroit. Here she is in 1960. Man, she was born to sing. Dig the multiple endings -- when it feels this good, you don't want to stop. I think the only person who didn't dig it is the director, who keeps panning back when he thinks things are coming to a close. Oops.
