On June 22, 1969, the greatest voice of her generation died.
By June 25, 1969, after the initial shock and grief had worn off, the average American had just about enough of the mourning.
Sure, they loved this woman when she was at the very top. The admired her singing, her movies, her will to succeed and overcome.
But..
In the last five years of her life she began to look like nothing more than a strung out junkie. Her whole persona(vocal or otherwise)was self-indulgent. Her relationships were disastrous. Her choice of husbands, dreadful. Her fortune gone.
Her great days were behind her.
I mean, she died in a bathroom for god’s sake.
Another junkie....dead. Who Cares? No one is going to give a s*** about her in another month.
Hindsight is 20/20.
