I remember that song @momofthegoons and I never saw who had sang it. I assumed a black artist. Well I was wrong.

Tina Turner: Music legend dies at 83
Her unmistakable voice on hits like The Best and What's Love Got to Do With It made her a superstar.
www.bbc.com
Younger stars who have felt her influence include Beyonce, Janet Jackson, Janelle Monae and Rihanna.

Turner was also a style icon - here she's performing in New York's Central Park in 1969 wearing a red leather outfit
So much talent! All our favorites are dying off. Energetic, resilient and unique, she danced and sang to her own drummer. First woman on the cover of the Rolling Stone. A trail blazer for black women - all women. She just never gave up, such a fighter. . RIP great lady!

Astrud Gilberto, 'The Girl from Ipanema' singer, dies at 83
And for those only familiar with this song, or bossa nova in general, only from weddings and elevator music would be well advised to listen to the original recording of it on Getz/Gilberto. These Brazilians invented "cool" before there was "cool". The opening verses are sung by her husband, Joao, in Portuguese and are beyond beautiful.

Honestly, it's little hard to feel too bad with that past, quite frankly...
There's very few living people I wish weren't, he was never one of them.

I'm a Paul Rubens fan. I think he was very creative and I enjoyed his movies. PeeWee's Big Adventure was my favorite. "Large Marge" :-)
My life has had so many "bumps in the road" that I just can't hold his behavior against him (or anyone else). I never walked in his shoes.
He was certainly talented.

Is this post supposed to be in response to the sentiments I included in my initial post, or just sort of an "in general" type statement? Hard to tell w/o quotes....
Edit: You wanna know what's "funny"? My daughter, and son, 18.5 & 16.5years old both LOVED the Peewee movies on dvd growing up, big time, among their favorites! When I texted her the news/article that he died, she texted back, with typical palpable teenage sarcasm/snark, first:
"Omg no way how"
"Damn"
"Cancer"
"That sucks"
Then:
"Wait nvm I found out he was caught w child porn"
"Good riddance lul"
She has developed very strong opinions on the subject as she ages and is very passionate, and I'm not gong to try to stifle it either. She's an adult, she can make her own decisions...
