Damn. We were supposed to see her at NOLA Jazz Fest the same year PJ was there but she backed out at the last minute and Earth, Wind & Fire filled in. The wife made us leave.
She was the definition of a legend.
RIP

RIP. I was lucky enough to see her at a charity gala about ten years ago. I danced my ass off and so did everyone else. She was magnetic.
