She is now singing with the angels. RIP

RIP. Wilson’s voice was immediately recognizable, as was her styling, grace, and stage presence. It was an honor to have seen her perform in person. Somehow, she made each of us in the audience feel as though she was giving a private, personal recital. Peace to her family.
