R.I.P.

Love that song. Does make for a strange title for a memorial thread though, lol.

yeah, it sounded like 10 was eager for her to croak.

I thought that any fans would understand it, and any non-fans might at least read the thread.

we understood what you ment. we just found the thread title unintentionally amusing.

Oh I get it. That wasn't a criticism, I think it's a great title.

And you're right, it probably would spur someone who had no idea who she was to read the thread. Because the title seems nasty....but of course it's not.

I was thinking it was intentionally amusing actually.

I was a big fan, have quite a few of her CD's

I have that song At Last in my collection on an old original 45rpm recording, as well as a few
things on LP. Yes I prefer records to CD or MP3 a far better sound in my opinion. I think I
will go pull a few selections from the library downstairs. Thanks for the tip.
She made her mark on the music world that is for sure. The thing I like about some or most
of the old stars, is the fact that forty years after the hit song struck a chord, its still relevant
today when you put it on the turn table.

I understood the title right away, still thought it was weird though as it can obviously be percieved another way.
