| Lola Falana, singer of depth and longevity. I remember her for the vitality of her life force and the manner she conducted herself in difficulty. It had a way of coming out in her stage performances. I remember with awe the length of her celibacy, an unheard of thing: twelve years! - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 6.26.16 |
