ValerieB Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 very sad, indeed. big loss. she was definitely under-acknowledged. we had mutual friends who thought the world of her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 Oh, I'm so sorry to hear this. She was a singer who improved all her life. Her recent albums for HighNote are wonderful. If you want to hear how someone quite elderly can still turn you out, try this, from '97 or this from 2007, when she was 78 RIP Gloria.

The late Bobby Forrester did a great job on organ too. RIP to both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenLowe Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 fasstrack - you probably knew Herman Foster; he's on a lot of her early '60s things, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yes, I'd forgotten that - she had as good taste in pianists as King Curtis and Lou Donaldson. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
