    I didn't know!!

    I just read in youtube that the "Roller girl" that did the video for "Skateaway" passed away early this year..Apparently she is no longer with us..She had 4 children, was 49, looking as beautiful as ever, has 2 sisters...She was born with the name of Jean Curley, but later in life changed it to Jayzik Azikiwe...She passed away on 31-01-08...Rest in peace "Roller Girl"...By the way, I love that video with the roller girl and is aging nicely...Yes

    That's too bad! May she rest in peace.

     

    Ah yes, Skateaway.. The album 'Making Movies' was a real knock-out (except the Les Boys, which I find.. I want to say strange but it doesn't cover it..) I never saw the Skateaway video, but I'm sure it was lovely. I only saw the video's on the Sultans of Swing DVD.. I prefer live/recorded performances..

    Anyway, it's a pitty, and I hope se had a happy life full of love and tenderness and whatever she wanted
