...Lilian was a wonderful singer whose material didn't always give her the chance to show just how good she was.

Not a lot of records make me cry real run-down-your-cheek tears, but this one always has:

Sad news,

Lillian will always be remembered in the UK, especially for the brilliant 'If You're Looking For A Way Out'.

I always thought it was odd that such a huge UK hit wasn't successful in the US ...in fact I'm not even sure it was issued as a single in the US.

Gutted ! this is getting all too regular lately. what a fabulous singer this lady was, i had the pleasure of seeing her sing the big hits and more in Nottm lace market a few yrs ago, the highlight being 'Hang together'

Native New Yorker is a legendary record that i never tire of. i remember a couple of yrs back there was a poll on here for your Favourite RCA release, well Native new yorker was my choice, to me it really is that good.

RIP Lillian, the lady with vocals so beautiful.........

Sad news, so many of our singers are dieing, we're all getting older. Although it may be heresy to some, I've always liked Odyssey. Was she the lead singer on Inside Out, my favourite of their records?

RIP Lilian.

Heard the news on Solar radio yesterday. She sang on some wonderful tracks.

God bless you Lilian

Looking For A Way Out is in my top 5 ballads of all time. I'll never see her sing it live now; just as well I'd probably dissolve; very sad news.

Absolutely Tone, one of the few records that make me feel that way too, such a sad sad record.
