The gorgeous, feisty, wonderful South African lady, Miriam Makeba, has died at age 76. See her obituary in the NYT here. I remember watching this glorious black woman singing on television, when I was about 16 years of age, many, many moons ago, and turning to my mother to say, “gosh, she’s beautiful.” Her response? “But, she’s black. How can you think she’s beautiful?”
I really do not miss the good old days.
she had a great musical talent…that was sad news…nice clip!
