Good article on CNN's website here.

Thanks for the link, Justa...I've always liked her music, still have her first (Eli) record album, tho I've not listened to it in years. I didn't even know she was dead.

Oh lord, imagine being boo'd at the Monterey Jazz Fest., especially as it seems she was as shy as she looked. What guts it must have taken to go on after that.

I always liked her own version of Wedding Bell Blues the best.

I was going to start this thread if it hadn't been started already. I love her songs and I think that a number of them will become folk songs. They strike a chord in your heart that is beyond time and place.

A greatly undersung composer/singer, IMHO.
