Della Reese, who segued from pop and jazz singing stardom in the ‘50s and ‘60s to a long career as a popular TV actress on “Touched by an Angel” and other shows, died Sunday night at her home in California. She was 86.

“She was an incredible wife, mother, grandmother, friend, and pastor, as well as an award-winning actress and singer. Through her life and work she touched and inspired the lives of millions of people,” actress Roma Downey, Reese’s co-star on “Touched By an Angel,” said in a statement announcing Reese’s death. “She was a mother to me and I had the privilege of working with her side by side for so many years on ‘Touched by an Angel.’ I know heaven has a brand new angel this day. Della Reese will be forever in our hearts.”

CBS, home of “Touched By an Angel,” also hailed Reese’s legacy as an entertainer who focused her career on uplifting her audience.LINK /

So in the last few days, we've had Della Reese, Malcolm Young, Mel Tillis, and David Cassidy die. 2017 is trying to cram em' in before the year runs out.

Oh, and for you baseball fans, Hall of Famer Bobby Doerr died a week ago.

Not counting Manson because he was a count.

One of my favorite "only people alive in that decade would get" references.
