Sorry to hear this RIP.

 

[Reynard]

One of the most powerful and distinctive voices in music.

Rest easy, talented lady.

Just got back from the pub and seen she has died. Sad news, she was a great performer.

Sad news, never much of a fan myself being more of a Ike Turner* fan but she was great.

* Yep I know Ike was a b'stard but he was like that with everybody much like Charles 'Chuck' Berry, both always carried a gun but being a rich black guy was tough in America back then. Both were so influential on the music we listen to today

I recall buying River Deep (late 60s?) and playing it with my girlfriends** sister in the front room.
**who became MrsD in 1968.

This is what she said in a 2021 documentary about her life:
‘Look what I’ve done in a lifetime with this body. I’m a girl from a cotton field that pulled myself above what was not taught to me’.

This is simply the best:

The combination of her huge voice and Spector's wall of sound ( no it's not just reverb ) combine to make one of the most powerful sounds out there. Perfection.

She was fantastic. Saw in her in concert in the 80's. Stunning performer.

Did she have an invisible horse between her legs?
