Michelle Nicastro, R.I.P.

A long, courageous battle against the Big "C" was lost yesterday by Michelle Nicastro, a woman of lovely voice and spirit who was prominent in the L.A. theater community. Michelle recorded several CDs of show tunes, mostly kid-oriented, that are quite wonderful in every way. I had the pleasure of hearing her sing in person many times and meeting her and…well, I think if you listen to her sing, you can tell what a sweet, wonderful lady she was. Here she is singing "Part of Your World" from The Little Mermaid….

There you go. Ever hear any person sing that song better than that? I sure haven't.

(I kinda knew that when I came back to post on this weblog it would be for an obit. I'm really sad that it had to be for Michelle…)
