I'm sad about this. She was an amazing woman and brilliant singer, pretty unique really. Such a tough life and her comeback in early middle age was inspirational.
I loved the biopic of her life, What's Love Got To Do With It, with Angela Bassett. It's irritated me somewhat that a recent romcom has the same title, couldn't they have used another name? But everything in TV and films seems to be recycled now.
She'll be missed.
