You would cry too, if it happened to you.

RIP.

Saddened to hear that. I sing that song quite often and for no particular reason - it’s just been stuck in my head for a few decades. :)

‘Judy’s Turn to Cry’ is a good comeback song!

So sorry to hear this. She was great, and I loved her songs and sound back when I was a teenager.

Shouldn’t this person be far older than that?

The 33 year old “partner” is probably in the will.

Wasn’t she also in a couple of “Batman” episodes?

She was 16 when she recorded ‘It’s My Party’.

On Wikipedia it says that her song "You Don't Own Me" was second to the Beatles, "I Wanna Hold Your Hand."

I don't know why but I think that is funny.

In the story - she was Catwoman’s sidekick.

I liked her music as well, when I was a teenager. 68 seems to be a dangerous age. The ol’ Reaper took a shot at me last summer but he missed, barely.

Partner? Heaven? Typical secular view of The Almighty.
