Jazz, soul singer Marlena Shaw passed away last Friday at the age of 81.
Soul fans will relate to her string of soul classics such as 'California Soul' and 'Woman of the Ghetto' but for Tyneside jazzers of a certain age the memorable moment was her 1968 appearance at the City Hall with the Count Basie Orchestra.
Sadly missed REST IN PEACE. Lance

Sorry to hear of her passing. I remember her from the first Jazz Cruise I was on and she did a fantastic version of You've Changed with a very amusing introduction.
