-i see words like "devastated", "heartbroken", "i'm sick about..."... really? really?? a supremely gifted singer, significant talent- in her heyday- had long ago lost relevance- and signature voice. i hear further sentiments like "truly tragic"- indeed. make no mistake about it, this was a slow death, an eventful, protracted demise- filled w/the usual cast of self motivated enablers, contributors, and deniers. at this point, i (we) don't know the immediate circumstances of how she died. i'm not judging how she lived. this mock shock at her passing though, is rather disingenuous, and the sense of expressed personal loss is revealing at best. i remember the iconic moments - the bevy of songs, the surprisingly good movie turns, the fabulous super bowl anthem... and more. can't help though, but also remember the sordid embarrassing episodes - she must have broken cissy's heart many times- condolences to her mother and daughter.
