Abbey Lincoln, the world has one less voice speaking up and singing out. One less voice saying it and showing how it's done.

Abbey Lincoln was a remarkable talent, a renaissance woman who was not only a gifted vocalist but writer, actress and outspoken critic of the injustices brought on by bigotry and racism.

I just ran across this tribute done by NPR as part of their Jazz Profiles series some time back featuring the work and life of Abbey Lincoln. A quick reminder of what we've just lost.

Rest in Peace Abbey.
