For the third time in as many weeks, we are again stunned and saddened by the silencing of a legendary voice.Thursday’s news of the death of Barbados’ Queen of Song Carlyn Leacock at age 73 is still sinking in for most of us who have been delighted, soothed, and inspired time and time again as she serenaded us in her unique style.During the Christmas holidays we felt the loss when Singing Francine quietly left us with her joyful parang music. We mourned mere weeks later when the quintessential Caribbean man, Black Stalin, made his exit leaving behind his rich repertoire of music. Now we must stop all the clocks for Carlyn.Like many other legendary entertainers, both past and present, she was more than just a great singer or performer. She opened doors and blazed a trail for Barbadian women who dared to enter an arena dominated by men in the 1970s.
