Just hearing the sad news that the grand old lady of soul, Della Reese, has passed away. Singer of one or my all time faves Blow Out the Sun. I think she was about 94. She.was of course an actress, who starred alongside Rick Pryor in  Harlem Nights. God speed another voice in the choir. 

 

really sad news.. my fav by the golden lady

 

Della Reese was born in 1931 in the Motor City.

RIP

Very sad news RIP Della.  My favourite would be A Clock That's Got No Hands  what a superb track....
