Perfectly healthy until she got the covid vax /s

She’d been battling breast cancer for years

[SamAdams76]

"If Not For You" - topped out at #25 on the Billboard Hot 100 back in 1971.

Many, many more hits would follow.

I thought it went higher than that, they seemed to play it a lot.

[Lazamataz]

So many icons from my youth are passing.

[Paladin2]

Carpe Diem, one day at a time....

[Guenevere]

I know this is sarcasm…

Actually she’s been fighting aggressive breast cancer for years,

[silverleaf]

Battled the beastly disease for 30 years.
RIP after a long fight

I think that you saw an exponential expansion in the numbers of famous people in the 60s and 70s, with the advent of television, and now we’re hitting that part where they are all now in their 70s and 80s.

Well, you know you’ve hit it big and earned it in the music world if I have one of your albums :)

[SamAdams76]

#1 on the Adult Contemporary charts however, so there’s that.

“The Xanadu Soundtrack. Movie not so good but the music excellent.”

“I always thought scene with the 40’s swing band and current rockers was really cool. They melded their songs into one and it just rocked. Who woulda thought?

[dfwgator]

Even The Tubes were on it.

I hadn't heard about Judith Durham.   She was also an Australian national treasure.

[Cboldt]

-- Judith Durham --

Hadn't heard about that one. Another great voice from memorable days past.

[dfwgator]

Hope they are checking up on Barry Gibb.

So many icons from my youth are passing.

As Nicks sings... Well, I've been afraid of changin' 'Cause I build my life around you But time makes bolder Well Children get older I'm getting older too Well, I'm getting older too

[Leep]

I’ve got a memory like...like
a.. what were we talking about?
