'Rescue Me' Soul Singer, Fontella Bass, Dies - Wall Street Journal
Associated Press
Fontella Bass, a St. Louis soul singer who hit the top of the R&B charts with "Rescue Me" in 1965, died at age 72.
Ms. Bass died Wednesday night at a St. Louis hospice of complications from a heart attack suffered three weeks ago, her daughter, Neuka Mitchell, said. Ms. Bass had also suffered a series of strokes over the past seven years.
"She was an outgoing person," Ms. Mitchell said. "She had a very big personality. Any room she entered she just lit the room up, whether she was on stage or just going out to eat."
"Rescue Me" has been covered by many top artists, including Linda Ronstadt, Cher, Melissa Manchester and Pat Benatar. Aretha Franklin eventually sang a form of it, as "Deliver Me" in a Pizza Hut TV ad in 1991.
Ms. Bass was born into a family with deep musical roots. Her mother was gospel singer Martha Bass, one of the Clara Ward Singers. Her younger brother, David Peaston, had a string of R&B hits in the 1980s and 1990s. Mr. Peaston died in February at age 54.
Ms. Bass began performing at a young age, singing in her church's choir at age 6. Her interest turned to R&B when she was a teenager. She eventually auditioned for Chess Records and landed a recording contract. Her duet with Bobby McClure, "Don't Mess Up a Good Thing," reached No. 5 on the R&B charts and No. 33 on the Billboard Top 100 in 1965.
She co-wrote and later that year recorded "Rescue Me," reaching No. 1 on the R&B charts and No. 4 on the Billboard pop singles chart. Ms. Bass's powerful voice bore a striking resemblance to that of Ms. Franklin, who is often misidentified as the singer of that chart-topping hit.
Ms. Bass haggled over royalty rights to "Rescue Me" for years before reaching a settlement in the late 1980s, Ms. Mitchell said.
Ms. Bass lived briefly in Europe before returning to St. Louis in the early 1970s. She recorded occasionally, including a 1995 gospel album, "No Ways Tired," that earned a Grammy nomination.
She is survived by four children.

Funeral held for killed Pakistan politician - Aljazeera.com
Prominent politicians were among mourners paying their last respects amid tight security to Pakistani provincial minister Bashir Bilour, who was killed in a suicide attack claimed by the Taliban.
With helicopters hovering overhead, Interior Minister Rehman Malik and local leaders joined hundreds of members of Bilour's Awami National Party (ANP), which governs the province, at a sports stadium on Sunday for a funeral prayer.
Bilour, senior minister of northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, was killed along with eight other people when the suicide bomber struck at a political meeting in the provincial capital Peshawar on Saturday.
The killing of the 69-year-old, an outspoken critic of the Pakistani Taliban, happened in a city on the frontline of the country's fight against homegrown militancy which is frequently hit by gun and bomb attacks.
Security gates were set up at the entrance of the stadium in Peshawar and people were subjected to body searches. Authorities had installed jamming equipment to block mobile phone signals, which can be used to trigger bombs.
Draped in a Pakistani flag, Bilour's coffin was brought from his brother's residence in an ambulance which later drove to the city's graveyard where he was buried near his mother's grave.
"Bilour was a sober, seasoned and brave politician. His death has created a vacuum in provincial politics," Anwar Saifullah, of the Pakistan People's Party, told the AFP news agency after attending the funeral.
The Pakistan People's Party leads a national coalition government in Islamabad, which includes the secular ANP.
Amir Muqam, a senior figure in opposition party the Pakistan Muslim League-N, said: "Bilour was a courageous politician - the ANP has suffered a big loss in Peshawar."
Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf declared a day of national mourning in Bilour's honour on Sunday and flags flew at half-mast. The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provincial government announced three days of mourning.
Bilour, the number two to the chief minister of the province, had been in politics for 40 years.
In Saturday's attack, around 100 people - including the provincial leadership of the ANP - had gathered at the meeting when the bomber struck.
The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) said they targeted Bilour in revenge for the death of one of their elders.
