    If there is a heaven, Marie Knight and Sister Rosetta Tharpe are singing up a gospel storm. They were fierce!

    Death, you are officially on notice. Sleep with one eye open, Mr. Reaper, because it is ON. Like Donkey Kong.

    "The Party's Over" for Mary (it's a song from Bells are Ringing).


    We did Bells are Ringing when I was in high school. Do this day I can not hear the names "Dior" or "Balenciaga" without thinking of the song lyric "My Christian Dior I wore and tore, got fitted for a new Balenciaga". It's a really fun, very 50s musical.

    I guess I'll have to see the musical, because I am totally intrigued about the madcap adventures of celebrity crisis answer service operators.


    You did good work, Mary. Even better you were an inspiration to others. Rest in peace.

    I'm always fascinated by people with [mostly] defunct jobs. Like operators, milkmen, etc.

    @Khrushchev: That's why I included the [mostly]. I guess I was generalizing about it not being as common of a profession as it used to be (or just not as visible?), though you would know better than I.

    @andonthatnote: I was just teasing. I don't know about "operator" in the general sense of the term, and certainly I don't have a switchboard (which sucks). I'm an operator for a company.

    @andonthatnote: One of my ex-BF's dad was a Helms Bakery driver, which was a SoCal institution for years. They delivered fresh bread, pastries, donuts (DONUTS!!!) to your door, allegedly. I am too young to remember this, but I regarded him as something akin to a unicorn or a phoenix or a manticore - except with a dozen old fashioneds riding on his back.

    She was very beautiful, as shown by the picture. I've never heard of her before, but anyone who inspires a musical must have been quite an interesting persona.

    R.I.P. Mary, receptionists everywhere owe you a debt of gratitude.
