very sad, indeed. big loss. she was definitely under-acknowledged. we had mutual friends who thought the world of her.

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear this. She was a singer who improved all her life. Her recent albums for HighNote are wonderful.

If you want to hear how someone quite elderly can still turn you out, try this, from '97

or this from 2007, when she was 78

RIP Gloria.

This One's on Me is very nice indeed. The late Bobby Forrester did a great job on organ too. RIP to both.

fasstrack - you probably knew Herman Foster; he's on a lot of her early '60s things, I think.

Oh yes, I'd forgotten that - she had as good taste in pianists as King Curtis and Lou Donaldson.

I always liked her big 1964 hit "I Wish You Love". Never heard any of her other stuff.
