Well it is always sad to lose someone and 65 is really not that old. I was not very familiar with her and her work but I do know that I am a big fan of her father Nat King Cole. Every time around the holiday season I end up hearing "The Christmas Song" and remembering what a great voice he had. I hope that the family is okay and gets the support that they need in these tough times.

She had a great voice. A real talent. I too liked Nat King Cole.
