Ruth Buzzi died? Singer Jill Sobule died?


I read about both of them just minutes ago, after a tiring work day.
Both are huge favorites of mine.

I'm very sad.

    I heard about that on the news last night.  I'm not familiar with the singer, though.

    I so very much appreciate your answer to me. I am surprised at how much I continue to feel the loss of both Buzzi and Sobule.

    When I was 15 years old, I wrote a letter to Ruth Buzzi, sharing with her how much she made me laugh. Had grown up watching "Laugh-In" but I loved her in her other roles in movies and other TV shows, too.
    Buzzi wrote back to me and included a big photo of herself, with a signed personalised message and autograph on the photo.
    I still treasure it.

    And years before Katy Perry had a hit with "I Kissed a Girl," Sobule had written and sung a totally different song with the same title. That song (the first song I heard from her) and the album on which it appears are superlative to me.
    I'll include the music video to the song. I very much like its light-hearted spirit. And she's an excellent musician to me.
    (And, no, it's not the 'same-sex' attraction that drew me to the song - - it's just the song itself, everything about it.)

    Thanks again.

    As usual, I can't open YouTube videos for some unknown reason, but I'll take your word for it.  I'm glad Ruth Buzzi responded to you.

    Darn, was hoping you could listen to the song and watch the music video. :)

    Thanks again for your kind reply.

    I don't have a YouTube account, so I can't sign in.  Sorry.

    I'm not sure why you don't have a YouTube account, but it's free, easy to create an account and there is so much interesting content.

    Frankly, I already spend too much time in front of my laptop, so I don't really need a YouTube account.
