...was a largely ignored vocalist before her death from bone cancer in the mid-90's. After that, she was 'discovered' by a larger following, mainly in the UK. But I think it's safe to say that she's still a virtual unknown among most mainstream music enthusiasts.
There's not much to find at the iTunes Store, but Amazon is a great resource for listening to samples. You won't regret it.
Pay particular attention to the album Songbird. I don't know how much is fact and how much lore, but there are those who say she chose and recorded the selections included on this album with the full knowledge that her end was near. Warning: that backstory, combined with the other-worldly nature of her voice, can elicit strong emotional responses.
