Miriam

One of the greatest songstresses of our time, Miriam Makeba, has ceased to sing. Miriam Makeba, South Africa's Goodwill Ambassador, died performing what she did best -- an ability to communicate a positive message through the art of singing.
Throughout her life, Mama Makeba communicated a positive message to the world about the struggle of the people of South Africa and the certainty of victory over the dark forces of apartheid colonialism through the art of song.

I turn 65 this year, the voice, the style and this wonderful woman will be in my heart as it has for so many years. That Pata Pata is used on tv commercials should be an honor. A truly unique person, I shall miss her every day.
