It's very sad she died so young.   (Yeah, 69 seems young to me now.) I didn't know about her addictions. That's always sad.

I don't think I saw and heard her anywhere but on Tennessee Ernie's TV show, but I remember her well. I even remember one particular song she sang that I've never heard anyone else do. ("Baby Can Love")

I didn't know how old she was on Tennessee Ernie's show. I just thought she was older than I was (which was about 14 or 15, IIRC). Maybe she wasn't.*

*Wait.   If she just died at age 69, she was obviously a few years older than I. Duh!
