Sad sad sad. Her songs will always bring a tear to my eye, they are just so beautifully sung.
I need to set the scene now. The sun is shining, it's summer and a warm evening. You're out with your young lady, parked up with a blanket in a field. And this song playing.

Oh Dear. One of the Greats. Such a talented singer, songwriter and pianist.
Particularly liked her early work and duets with Donny Hathaway, the greatest soul voice of all time, imo.
Rest easy Roberta ×

Lovely singer . I admit I only know the one big hit that she had , but it was a classic.
Lived until 88, that’s a good innings . She will be remembered RIP

One of my favourite Cohen tracks. She has a beautiful voice. ‘First time’ is just so gorgeous.
