Such sad news. I had the honor and pleasure of sharing dinner with her at the repost for Syliva, owner of the famed Harlem restaurant.
When I was entering the venue, I heard what I thought was the best recording of 'Killing me Softly' when I discovered it was live!
My friend emailed me a copy of the photo (taken on a Nokia) but I have not been able to find it. I'm going to search again. Most grateful to my beloved cousin, Caryl, who arranged the experience.
Prayers of peace and confort to her loved ones. ❤️
