And what a dream we eventually got to share! Thank you Marie, thanks for everything. You were an outstanding musician, a master of the voice, an amazing performer.Thanks for painting my black and white songs with the most beautiful colours.

Brilliant singer. So sorry to hear she has died.

She will live on in some great songs from my youth.
