As you can see here, someone at the obituaries Google Group left the following message:

"Vocalist Dakota Staton, 76, Dies"

The post does not cite any source or go into any details and is thus unverified. Nonetheless, don't be too surprised should Mrs. Staton's death be officially reported. Brief, uncited messages like this have been left there before and have turned out to be true. --From Andoria with Love 02:19, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Birth name

The second sentence of the article begins, "Born Aliyah Rabia..." The obit in the (Manchester) Guardian makes it sound like she'd chosen that name later on... Ramencity
Updated this, citing the New York Times obit. which it seems is where the facts of that article come from. Dissolve 01:04, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
