Cuban singer Margarita Pracatan dies at 89

Margarita Pracatan, the flamboyant Cuban singer who broadcaster Clive James helped make a household name in the UK, has died at the age of 89.

Known for her appearances on James's ITV chat show, the woman born Margarita Figueroa in 1931 brought a Hispanic flourish to numerous well-known songs. James discovered her on US cable TV and hired her as his show's"resident New York-based Latin American chanteuse".Pracatan's flamboyant fashions, thick accent and often wayward grasp on her musical material made her a popular fixture on 1990s television."Margarita gives everything she's got, every time," said James himself."If she forgets the words, she sings something else. She never stops.

"When people ask me if it's all an act, I give them the true answer: no it isn't. She's really like that. Somebody had to be, and fate chose her."

She was awful but I liked her lol.
