“Rescue Me” Singer Fontella Bass Dead At 72
Soul singer Fontella Bass, best known for her 1965 hit “Rescue Me,” has died. She was 72.
According to the Uptown Magazine, the St. Louis-born songstress passed away on December 26th due to complications from a heart attack she suffered three weeks ago. Her daughter, Neuka Mitchell, says Bass had also suffered a series of strokes over the past seven years.
“She was an outgoing person,” Mitchell added. “She had a very big personality. Any room she entered she just lit the room up, whether she was on stage or just going out to eat.”
