She was from Crown Heights??? Sweet.
She truly was a great singer and a woman of class, without being too hoity toity. I remember seeing her on the television machine here and there when I was a kid. -
According to one account I read, her family lived on Empire Blvd. Not my part of the Heights, but I'll take it, nonetheless.
Howdy, Stranger!
