Losing an icon

(FYI, the person in my "Muse" icon is Nina Simone, not Miriam Makeba.)

Miriam Makeba died today, and I'm deeply moved by her passing

I planned to watch your clip when I got home last night but didn't have internet service. :( (don't have sound at work due to pacemker program on my pc)
I did, however, see the story of her passing on the news.
They showed a number of clips and she was quite an inspiration. I heard her sing briefly with Paul Simon but I'm looking foward to seeing your clip hopefully tonight.
Thanks for bringing her to my attention.

Cool! Btw, the South African National Anthem one IS with Paul Simon, although I have a much better version that I love to listen to.

If you watch the Pate Pate clip, YouTube has a number of them from the same concert, including The Click Song. You should definitely watch that one - I spent hours and hours trying to figure out how to make that sound when I was little. *lol* She even mentions that in the concert clip - that people always asked her how the sound was made. :)
