ReplyDeleteShe passed??? So sad.
XOXO
I adored since I was very young. For me there was something other-worldly about her voice and her style.
ReplyDeleteMy friend Lisa's parents were British and I heard Ms Laine at their house when we were kids. Such style!
ReplyDeleteShe deserved those ribbons.
ReplyDeleteI remember my mum hating the way she sang, but my mum hated music. My God who hates music?
