I watched her on TV (Merv Griffin?) a long time ago, sing Hotel California, Henley, eat your heart out.

Saw her live here in Ottawa a few years back at the BluesFest what a great show. Highlight of the week!

had the wonderfull oportunity to see her in 90 or 91 at a free outdoors jazz fest in the park. still sounded great and sang all her great hits. if you havent seen the movie Caddilac records i recommend that you do and if you have, then you know why i said that. Yes, another great is gone but fortunatly for us, her music will live on


ENJOY!!!!! NEWT!!!!!

There is a youtube video of her singing with Dr. John that is legendary.

May she RIP
