I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

Saw her live a few times and she came across as a very humble, extremely dedicated, and totally original musician filled with creativity and able to summon up all manner of never before heard magic. RIP
Spectacular album, astonishing range and unstoppable technique.
