Long battle with Cancer it seems - reports say she weighed just six Stone when she died.

What a singer she was

She will live in forever in her music, a sad loss.

Here is my favourite from her.

Just heard from another source, I was never a fan, liked her in the Blues Brothers film though. She never forgot her humble beginnings, and did some good with her fortune, doing free concerts,and providing food for thanksgiving, to those who could not afford it. If only there were more like her, this world would be a much nicer place. Total respect to her,RIP
