I remember when she died. I cryed. It was so sad. I wonder if any of her daughters went into the business? Minnie had a melodious voice. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. I loved all her music.

She did have an amazing voice... the only singer that we have with that kind of range now is Mariah Carey...
