Damn you. You beat me to it. Despite her personal issues she had a hell of a voice. I remember being a seven year old boy and having the biggest crush on her.
Was never a fan, or really even that aware of her career other than the common popular knowledge, but still RIP!
"It is a shame she died. Those were some nice knockers." Not trying to make you look like a dick, but that is what popped into my head as I read that sentence. <3
A cultural icon for sure, and I was glad that two of the bars I went to tonight in NYC had the courtesy of paying her homage, though they were both "I will always love you". Anyways, RIP. -BBK
^Have you seen her Grammy version? Here! www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAE0p74d3Bo Rocky start but she starts hitting it a minute or so in. Has an amazing ending.
