Rita McNeil.

Did anybody like the Canadian singer Rita McNiel. Unfortunately she died a few days ago from effects of an operation. She had a lovely rich voice and sang many great songs. There are videos of her singing on Youtube but I dont know how to do a link. Have a look at Working Man. R.I.P

Re: Rita McNeil.

No Mari I cant think of her at all. Seemingly Working Man was a hit in Britain in 1990 but unless I hear it I cant think what the tune goes like.

Re: Rita McNeil.

I was sad to read here about Canadian singer Rita McNeil. I particularly liked her version of Working Man. Wonderful, thanks for the link.

Re: Rita McNeil.

I came across her many years ago and still have some tapes of hers.

She had a lovely voice and I'm saddened to hear the news.

Re: Rita McNeil.

That brought tears to my eyes, love that music style, she reminded me of Nana Mouskouri who was my Dads favourite singer years ago and who I often listen to on youtube
