Christie Azumah is Dead!

Ghana's Queen of Pop Christie Azumah is reported to have died at a Los Angeles hospital yesterday after a long bout with cancer. Christie had been living in the Los Angeles area for several years.

Denizens in Ogyakrom and abroad may well remember her in the early '70s as national pop singer who frequently featured on GBC-Television dance-music shows.

LA zories may want to find out more about Christie's sudden passing, and may also want to donate monies for her burial. I'll try to come up with more details. Meanwhile, I'd like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt condolences to her family and friends in the States and in Ghana.
