Many artists death's have touched me, but two artists I have always been fascinated with and whose deaths have touched me the most are:
:angel::angel::angel:
Tammi Terrell
I've always loved Tammi Terrell since I was a kid and first saw the video for "Aint No Mountain High Enough". I loved her voice and thought she was so spunky and cute.
I've always wondered what my fascination was with Michael and Tammi though and now I think I know. Besides me just loving both of their voices and adoring their music, both had innocent, sweet child like qualities to them, which i've always found endearing. Well Tammi was a sassy little thing lol, but she was like a woman-child in many ways. She was only 24 afterall when she passed. Michael wasn't always Mr. Innocent either lol, but overall he was very caring and loving as we all know. Not too many adults have that innocent quality about them that MJ did. He was very unique and special in that way. I've never seen anyone else like him.
Michael and Tammi I have always loved and adored for some reason though. I wasn't even alive when Tammi died, but I have listened to all her solo records, read books about her and just became a huge fan over the years. I sometimes wonder if I'm the only hardcore Tammi Terrell fan. I don't know of too many people who love her like I do and there isn't much information about her out there.
Either way, their deaths have touched me more than anyone. I know not everyone believes in the afterlife and heaven, but I do and it comforts me in some way to think that both Michael & Tammi are up there in Heaven smiling and singing away with their beautiful angelic voices. I love them both so much. I really wish I could have met them . One of my biggest regrets is that I never got a chance to see Michael in concert. Don't think I can ever get over that one. I've seen everyone else that I wanted to see except Michael...it just sucks so much that he's not here.
