A few days ago, Odetta died, age 77. I photographed her on February 6, 2003 in a makeshift studio in the lobby of Radio City Music Hall.

I was sad to hear of Odetta's passing. She was a great, strong woman who insired me. I grew up listening to Odetta's songs and had been listening to one of my compilations of hers and Miriam Makeba's songs on the very day Odetta passed away. Thanks for posting this lovely photo you took of her. Maybe they're duetting right now in heaven...
