Webbo Posted 26 April 2011 Posted 26 April 2011 I remember her but I wasn't a fan. 53 is no age though, sad news.
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 26 April 2011 Posted 26 April 2011 Not my cup of tea, but the evil disease takes another. R.I.P.
Alf Bentley Posted 27 April 2011 Posted 27 April 2011 Sad, sad news - especially as I think she'd just started a comeback with a new solo album. Here's some more for anyone interested or unfamiliar: I'm old enough to remember how awful it was to be a teenage male in dreary mid-70s England, washed over with bland, crappy music (bit like today, in fact!) - and what a life-enhancing rescue it was when punk rock happened. God only knows how bad it must have been to be female as well, with a load of subservient. blonde dolly-birds as almost the only role model...until the advent of Poly Styrene and the Slits (RIP Ari Up last year, too, that's a bad run). "Some people think little girls should be seen but not heard, but I think.... OH BONDAGE, UP YOURS!"
General Smuts Posted 27 April 2011 Posted 27 April 2011 Absolute legend. Sad to hear, would have loved to have seen her in her prime. OH BONDAGE, UP YOURS! Played it yesterday when i heard and again this morning. Still a great tune. RIP
