Sheila Jordan.
Her longtime bassist Harvie S told NPR that Jordan died Monday at her apartment in New York City.
Jordan told NPR in 2014 that she was unhappy as a child, and the only thing she could do about it was sing.
But in a 2009 NPR piece, Sheila Jordan said her husband’s heroin addiction led him to abandon her and their small daughter, Traci.
And Sheila Jordan kept performing — even into her 90s.
