_ [Em] _ _ [Dm] _ [C] So this was already a hit for her?
[E] Yeah.
_ [Dm] Well [Ab] all her songs are pretty [Em] well known when she sang them really.
[C] That's why the _ Times [E] Obit was rather [Dm] peculiar because they said she [Ab] got booed [C] off the stage which [E] wasn't the case at all.
She [C] didn't get booed off the stage.
But that's what they put in the Times.
I wrote them a letter yesterday.
_ She [A] didn't feel good about [N] how she looked.
She didn't feel good about the band.
And she carried that burden for almost 30 years.
And then about two months ago _ _ we called her and said we looked at the footage and the only thing close to a boo that we can hear is somebody yelling beautiful.
Which was the absolute truth.
Come in and take a look at it.
This is in New York at Penny Bakery.
[C] Unfortunately she never got a chance to look at it.
