Marlena Shaw passed away on January 19, 2024. She was 81. It was in the early 1970s that Marlena Shaw truly became a star, her stunning looks and equally stunning voice winning over fans around the world, and landing hits like "Woman of the Ghetto" and her signature song, "California Soul." Shaw’s sultry, honeyed vocals, coupled with socially conscious lyrics, captivated audiences of the era. In the end, Marlena Shaw was an artist whose broad talent made her tough to categorize, a singer who was comfortable singing pop, soul, jazz and just about anything else around which she wrapped her exquisite phrasing. (Soul Tracks)
She was actually 84. My Grandmother lied about her age too. Found out when she died she was born in 1899, not 1900 as she told us. Love Marlena! (but I still consider Go Away Little Boy her "signature" song).
She still has it!! I almost cried listening till the end...she made everyone dance on that venue!!! Sound quality is not the best but.....who cares when you got soul!!!! :)
