She just released an album, so stayed active until the end.

The bazillion Dakota Staton albums on Capitol are pretty consistent, from what I've heard. The Late Late Show is a torchy classic, undoubtedly available on reissue.

I still need to get that Staton album.

The Late Late Show was my first introduction to her, only a couple of years ago, given to me by someone I was deeply in love with, so I'll always equate her with being in love. A great album, a wonderful voice, RIP.
