She was a giant. Beautiful and talented. Suffered horrible tragedy (sad to say first thing I thought of was the rape?.
May she R.I.P.
When the sixties began, she was the top female singer in the country, and maybe even the world, but Beatlemania stopped her career cold. Afterwards, she switched to the Adult Contemporary market and could be heard on stations like KPOL and KFI (way before Rush Limbaugh) in Los Angeles.
You know, Mandela Effect or something, but I thought she had already passed. Beautiful lady and beautiful voice. May she RIP.
Yes, at knife-point.
My first thought as well. She had a singular voice and never performed again (as I understand) after the attack.
