Della Reese has died
RIP Ms Reese. I enjoyed your performances over the years especially in Touched By An Angel,and when she kicked Eddie Murphy's ass in Harlem Nights.

She has been so famous for so long, I'm surprised she was only 86 years old!

That's a shame, I always enjoyed her work.
That bit with Eddie Murphy was hilarious.
