    Not really a blues singer as such, but I didn't know where else to
    stick this:
    
    Can anyone confirm the rumour that Lavern Baker died last week?

  RE: LaVern Baker
  
  I second that confirmation.
  
  The Boston Globe did an excellent writeup, worth seeking out if you can
  (web accessible?).
  
  Tom Parmenter also issued a lament via desperado, which was well-taken...
  But, I thought, a little too apologetic about her early hits -- Tweedlee
  Dee, Jim Dandy, I Cried a Tear, etc.  True, they don't begin to reflect
  the true extent of her talent, but they aren't "trash".

  I thought the Globe writer (probably Steve Morse) had an interesting point
  -- "I Cried a Tear" actually foreshadowed a type of 60s soul performance.

  The Globe notes a lot of fascinating things about her career -- her many
  different talents, her afflictions, the way she managed to miss
  a golden opportunity for fame by entertaining American troops rather than
  touring with Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Fats Domino, Buddy Holly, etc.
  She was the 1st or 2nd woman into the R&R hall of fame, and all that.

  After reading the Morse piece, I had a much better appreciation....  - Jay
