Farewell Miriam.....and you will now sing in paradise
I cannot count the number of times I danced on her song "pata pata".....The Empress of African song has left us quietly last night, after having performed on stage...
She was such a great woman and artist-activist, fighting against racism and apartheid in her country....Listening to her song Khawuleza is like drinking a glass of bitter-sweet wine.
Farewell Miriam...rest in peace.....you'll keep shining among the stars....
May Miriam rest in peace, she filled our hearts with mirth and joy and that's how I will always remember her.
To upload a video from youtube, just embed the code you have on the right hand side of the clip on youtube. Make sure you embed the code in the section of your post where it reads 'edit html' otherwise it won't come out. If you want to upload more than one video (like a playlist), create an account on youtube (if you haven't got one already) and create a playlist (with name included). After you have saved all the videos you want to upload in your playlist, embed the code and upload in your post (edit html) and presto... you're on!
Ahh Miriam, my heart! My hero- my love follows her spirit...thanks for this post,though sad...some people you just think will be here forever or at least until your own exit. Lovely, powerful, wise Miriam...
i am remembering a line i like very much from a song by another songstress as she sings 'it's so hard to hold on when heaven calls...' in my imagination i can see the joy of the angels as Miriam has a new captive audience...
I wrote about her too. She was an amazing talent and a kind-hearted womanwho went out of her way to help those less fortunate. I think it's fitting that her last performance was for another's benefit. I got to meet her once in San Francisco and guess what - we talked politics! :) xo
What a beautiful tribute to Mz Miriam...what a lovely voice has been silenced...but God's choir is all the richer for her leaving... Sandi ps congratulations on the Post of the Day mention at David's
