Ruth Brown RIP

I have never been a huge fan of female singers - there are exceptions, always - and therefore never paid much attention to Ruth. As any growing individual and music fan I now appreciate and respect her. As we move into the 21st century we will continue to lose these pioneering musicians and that is an unfortunate fact of life. We do have a well documented body of work and for that we can be glad.

So, go out and buy some Ruth Brown.
