She had all these accomplishments and I have to admit the thing I always remember her best from was her cameo in D.C. Cab.

The music industry gave her a raw deal, I am glad she sued for her royalties. She got her start on Electric Company, I was too young to remember her, but have seen clips.

I wouldn't know her if it weren't for DC cab.

Oh no ! I heard the tail end of "Fame" on the radio and figured it was used for some other purpose.
I came here to say I had sort of crush on her back then, which was unusual as I wouldn't usually think of her as "my type."

Gosh, now I'm bummed. I didn't follow her career but I see she had to pursue some legal issues.
Awww .... I didn't expect to hear this.
