Our Lady of Soul has left this plane and as we mourn her leaving we reflect on her incredible legacy and her warmth. I was fortunate to be in her presence twice while working at Le Grenouille restaurant during the late '90s . She would come in for an early dinner before the rush with an entourage of about 10 beautifully dressed young African American men and she would always pay in cash. I was so star struck to be in her presence and even managed to get her autograph!
She has left us a huge legacy of beautiful music that became part of our psyche and also some great dance floor anthems such as "Jump To It", "Deeper Love" and "Freeway Of Love" and many others. I mean how could you not dance to RESPECT? She has been sampled to death, my favorite one being The 49rs "Touch Me". Here is a remix tribute of her 1970's rendition of People. Enjoy
