Very sad news; I knew her very well; we lived in the same block for years.

Throughout the 70s and 80s we were both in 315 W 57th St in New York and shared many a coffee and croissant.
The stories I heard!
She was one of the truly greatest writers of all time and a super lady.

Truly a great and consistent talent.

Fortunately her music will live on (although didn't she do the lyrics?)

Typically, I didn't know who she was until she died. A great singer too, apparently. Shame these people don't put more of their stories down before joining the night shift (hint, hint).

Don't worry Mike; I'm writing my autobiography as we speak (at this moment in the very place we once had coffee)... up to 150,000 words so far, going like the clappers and out for Christmas (what a lovely present for GrandMa... NOT!).

Ken Emerson's "Always Magic In The Air" is a great portrait of the Songwriters of the Brill Building era.

Wonderful songs. A true legend and a relatively young age to pass on. Hopefully someone may do a retrospective album collection of her work ?

Looking forward to the JK Biography - will it be in the shops or available on Amazon ?

Certainly Amazon, BR, selling shitloads of Vile Pervert; The Musical DVD/CD, Earth To King and the 8 CD Box Set... "and all good book stores" as they used to say.
