    Still have her storming duet with Sugar Pie De Santo, " Do I Make Myself Clear" on a Chess 45. A huge Mod floor filler in the 60's.

    Sad news. UTube also has a great live performance of "I'd Rather Go Blind" with Dr John; a classic performance.

    They just don't make voices like hers anymore. A true legend and when you consider the prejudice she must of had to overcome in her early career than a title well worth.
    A truly sad loss.

    RIP Miss James, Roll with me Henry was guaranteed to fill the dance floor with girls doing "The Stroll" in the rockabilly clubs in the eighties.
