Thank you for the great compilation.
But was she born in 1940 or 1937?

I don't know if this is from 2016 or uploaded in 2016. I'm guessing the latter. She looks too young.

I'm going to play the whole list as a tribute. I'll play a few. I don't know many of her songs. |

Killing me softly is now stuck on my head for at least a month.  |
