Her fame is very much tied in with the Vandellas, despite having had a career after the group ended.
That being said, I did buy one of the expensive signed prints last year, as part of her fundraising campaign. I wish her well with this second fundraiser to secure funds for her reception. If I lived closer, I would probably attend this event.
