Her silky smooth tones and sensitivity were much more than a pleasure to encounter.
She was a goddess who gave us a gift.
She returned to performing in 2008 after 25 years away during which time her work included health care in south London.
Jean died 15th January 2009. A big loss for music. A huge loss to all.

What would life be without you here with me oh no
