Lady went through a lot in her life.
I'm very sorry to hear that. I thought she was brilliant. May she R.I.P.

Yes she was the Rock and Roll Queen of the 80's a wonderful performer I am playing her songs presently, her songs are still a hit to this very day.Fabulous Tina!
I liked "The best" best. Most of her songs were fantastic.

The Best was chosen for an anthem song for our football league here in Australia, she actually came down and sang it at our Grand Final a couple of times

Yes my husband and I were both there, I also saw her live in a Sydney concert in the late 70's I was exhausted just watching her on stage, great dancer as well, she was just a Ultimate Performer in every sense of the word

^ ah Moxie--an all-time favorite. I still have my parents' record they bought in 1963 that they played in the house when I was a wee lad. I know every song on the LP, and especially like Corcovado and Dolice, along with this iconic tune. Absolutely loved Stan Getz and still do--that tenor saxophone is just the most soothing thing, especially when tied to Astrud and Joao singing.
Just heard American actor Treat Williams died in an motorcycled accident at 71 ...
It's crazy but it seems Treat Williams was around forever in films/TV,/theatre to close to 50 years
from a hippie in Hair:
to the intense cop drama "Prince of the City"
to countless TV shows, we are going to miss you Treat : (

Agreed he was amazing in that Sidney Lumet movie, they dont make those gritty dramas anymore.
Its funny but in my first trip ever to NY as a young teen my mom took us to see the musical “Over here” a satirical take on WW2 homefront starring the Andrew Sisters, IIRC Treat Williams played a young soldier in that and it also had in the cast efore they were “names “ Anne Reinking & Marylu Henner. Treat was funny as a naive soldier.
Treat always came back to the stage during his career, these old school actors are addicted to it. ; )

That's a blessing Treat was able to go back to the stage which was obviously his first love. God Bless

I think we were just talking about Cormac McCarthy's "The Road." Such a gorgeous writer, even when he chilled me to the bone. RIP. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/13/books/cormac-mccarthy-dead.html
I cannot believe I missed his passing last week, the great writer Milan Kundera
“The Unbearable Lightness of Being” what a masterpiece.

“The Unbearable Lightness of Being” what a masterpiece.
Milan Kundera, Literary Star Who Skewered Communist Rule, Dies at 94 (Published 2023)
The author of “The Unbearable Lightness of Being,” he was known for sexually charged novels that captured the suffocating absurdity of life in his native Czechoslovakia.

RIP Tony Bennett. I always thought his rendition of Fly me to the Moon was by far and away the best...
