Never made it famous, so got depressed and died of an overdose. Couldn't help but ponder that she didn't make it because quite frankly she was very plain not at all pretty I wonder if that was part of it, you know how the record industry was and still is. Just ordered 2 of her albums anyway |

Looks like her albums are being reissued, they're on Amazon. Jane |

'Jesus was a crossmaker' is a classic song from a very good album. Jackie leven sings a tribute to her on his last cd. I'm pleased thar people are still 'discovering her' well done, keep her spirit alive. |
