[Paul1970]

Three legendary performers have passed the past few days.

I can remember hearing her songs on the radio when they were new.

Rest Well.

She was a great singer and writer. But she wasn't an "entertainer".

You're exactly right. She wasn't an "entertainer". She was always understated, but powerful in her own way.

Roberta and Marilyn McCoo were two of the greatest, and most under-appreciated great voices of the 70s and 80s, the greatest era of Black popular music ever. Her music legacy will always live on.
