RIP Abbey Lincoln

Taken from the news service:
One of jazz music's most prolific voices over the past half century, has gone silent.

Singer-songwriter Abbey Lincoln died Saturday, Aug. 14. She was 80.

While not as well-known as her contemporaries, such as Nancy Wilson and the late Nina Simone, Lincoln was revered by jazz purists and music aficionados keyed into her phrasing, emotion and signature style.
