    Hopefully she didn't suffer and went peacefully, I recall seeing her on so many tv shows growing up in the 70s & 80s. A talented lady who could sing and compose.

    Oh goodness, how very sad 64 is much too young.

    I remember as a child I thought she was the most beautiful woman in the world, like a human Barbie with all that incredible hair.

    I remember her so well.
    She was tiny and with her lovely hair she was really striking.
    64 is no age to die.
    Thank you for some happy memories.

    I had forgotten how lovely Won't Somebody Dance With Me until Ken Bruce played it as a tribute just after the 10 O'clock news.

    Loved her music in general.

    Another sad loss from my younger days.

    Oh this is quite a shock. How very sad.

    "No, Honestly" and "Rock Bottom" are the songs I remember most from my childhood.

    Ah this is really sad. I learned to play piano when I was little - all the usual classical stuff, but I remember in my teens finding the sheet music to Sugar Me - lots of pink as I recall! The opening chords were a bit of a stretch - literally, but it gave me a whole new interest again.

    By all means, a very talented lady. Gone too soon. :cool:

    Sad news indeed.

    She was the first female songwriter to win an Ivor Novello award and I remember her appearances in the musical slot on The Two Ronnies in the 70s.

    So sad to hear the news of Lynsey's passing. "Sugar Me" is one of my all time fave songs. :)

    It seems to have been quite sudden. A friend of hers said on the radio that he had seen her recently and she looked well. Lynsey is part of my childhood memories and as well as her own singles I like Storm in a Teacup which she co-wrote, and both her version and The Fortunes are good.

    Lynsey's "Sugar Me", her first and biggest UK hit from 1972. Reached No.5 in the chart :)

    I loved her, she'd been on the radio a bit lately and was fascinating to listen to.

    My faves were Getting a Drag (one of the first records I bought) and Rock Bottom.

    I agree, it is disgraceful that there is no mention anywhere on the headline page of Digital Spy about Lynsey de Paul's sad passing. She was a very popular singer and songwriter during her time. I remember her well. My thoughts are with her family and friends during this sad time. Shame on you though, Digital Spy!
