I remember enjoying her recordings back in the 60s -- great voice, fine songs, and that distinctive "click" in the language. I'm glad to hear she's still singing.

One thing -- I'd always thought her name was spelled "Makeba," but perhaps I misremember.

I always thought so, too. It's only my fingers that got it wrong.

Thank's for the correction, Nancy. As always.

I noticed that spelling thing, too, Abby. Since you approve, I've changed the spelling in the thread title and initial message. Google says that lots of people spell it "Makiba."
