[Paul1970]

Three legendary performers have passed the past few days.

I can remember hearing her songs on the radio when they were new.

Rest Well.

she was my dad's music teacher when he was in school.
RIP to a legend.

She was a great singer and writer. But she wasn't an "entertainer".

You're exactly right. She wasn't an "entertainer". She was always understated, but powerful in her own way.

Roberta and Marilyn McCoo were two of the greatest, and most under-appreciated great voices of the 70s and 80s, the greatest era of Black popular music ever. Her music legacy will always live on.

Rest in peace.

Most of the greatest artists of my day are dead.

This song grabs you like a hand on your shoulder in an empty room. You feel it like someone is actually right there, that someone Who this song makes you think of and when you turn around it's only their memory and tears form
