When I was younger I always read his column in Vogue. May he RIP.

I used to listen to Brazilian music a lot but the habit faded over the years. Yesterday, The Guardian, in its daily photo montage I saw a mural featuring a woman I'd never heard of. The caption said she had been named one of the Singers of the Millenium by the BBC. Elza Soares passed away at 91 in her native Rio.

This is her in 1971 from her Wiki.

When we talk about a life lived hers is one. May she RIP

Elza da Conceição Soares, known professionally as Elza Soares (Brazilian Portuguese: [ˈɛwzɐ ˈswaɾis]; 23 June 1930 – 20 January 2022) was a Brazilian samba singer. In 1999, she was named Singer of the Millennium along with Tina Turner by BBC Radio.[1]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elza_Soares

The raw emotion of her "End of the World Woman" got to me.

A Mulher Do Fim Do Mundo

Elza Soares
My cry is nothing but carnival
Meu choro não é nada além de carnaval

It's a samba tear on tiptoe
É lágrima de samba na ponta dos pés

The crowd surges forward like a gale
A multidão avança como vendaval

Throw me on the avenue that I don't know which one
Me joga na avenida que não sei qualé
Pirate and Superman sing the heat
Pirata e Super Homem cantam o calor

A yellow fish kisses my hand
Um peixe amarelo beija minha mão

An angel's wings unleashed on the ground
As asas de um anjo soltas pelo chão

In the confetti rain I leave my pain
Na chuva de confetes deixo a minha dor
On the avenue I left it there
Na avenida deixei lá

The black skin and my voice
A pele preta e a minha voz

On the avenue I left it there
Na avenida deixei lá

my speech, my opinion
A minha fala, minha opinião

My home, my solitude
A minha casa, minha solidão

I played from the top of the third floor
Joguei do alto do terceiro andar
I broke my face and got rid of the rest of this life
Quebrei a cara e me livrei do resto dessa vida

On the avenue it lasts until the end
Na avenida dura até o fim

end of the world woman
Mulher do fim do mundo

I am and I will sing until the end
Eu sou e vou até o fim cantar
My cry is nothing but carnival
Meu choro não é nada além de carnaval

It's a samba tear on tiptoe
É lágrima de samba na ponta dos pés

The crowd surges forward like a gale
A multidão avança como vendaval

Throw me on the avenue that I don't know which one
Me joga na avenida que não sei qualé
Pirate and Superman sing the heat
Pirata e Super Homem cantam o calor

A yellow fish kisses my hand
Um peixe amarelo beija minha mão

An angel's wings unleashed on the ground
As asas de um anjo soltas pelo chão

In the confetti rain I leave my pain
Na chuva de confetes deixo a minha dor
On the avenue I left it there
Na avenida deixei lá

The black skin and my voice
A pele preta e a minha voz

On the avenue I left it there
Na avenida deixei lá

my speech, my opinion
A minha fala, minha opinião

My home, my solitude
A minha casa, minha solidão

I played from the top of the third floor
Joguei do alto do terceiro andar
I broke my face and got rid of the rest of this life
Quebrei a cara e me livrei do resto dessa vida

On the avenue it lasts until the end
Na avenida dura até o fim

end of the world woman
Mulher do fim do mundo

I am and I will sing until the end
Eu sou e vou até o fim cantar
end of the world woman
Mulher do fim do mundo

I am, I will sing to the end
Eu sou, eu vou até o fim cantar
Sing
Cantar

I want to sing until the end
Eu quero cantar até o fim

let me sing until the end
Me deixem cantar até o fim

Until the end I will sing
Até o fim eu vou cantar

I will sing until the end
Eu vou cantar até o fim

I am a woman from the end of the world
Eu sou mulher do fim do mundo

I will, I will, I will sing, let me sing to the end
Eu vou, eu vou, eu vou cantar, me deixem cantar até o fim
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, ya, la, la, la, ya
La, la, la, ia, la, la, la, ia
Until the end I will sing, I want to sing
Até o fim eu vou cantar, eu quero cantar

I want to sing, I will sing until the end
Eu quero é cantar, eu vou cantar até o fim

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, ia
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, ia

I will sing, I will sing, let me sing to the end
Eu vou cantar, eu vou cantar, me deixem cantar até o fim

let me sing until the end
Me deixem cantar até o fim

let me sing
Me deixem cantar

let me sing until the end
Me deixem cantar até o fim

Sadly, MeatLoaf apparently died from COVID and was an anti-vaxxer.

His turn in Rocky Horror Picture Show will always be a favorite.

It's not sure whether he was vaccinated or not.
I haven't read anywhere that he was 'anti-vaxx' - but he was known to be strongly against vaccine mandates and said that he'd 'rather die than go through another lockdown'.

You are right, I didn't read carefully enough, he was against Covid-19 protection orders, but not clear if vaccinated.

Not sure about others, but I missed this news, I assume the timing (Super Bowl Sunday) may have something to do with that.
