This is really bad news, Patti has been such an important part of the package for so long now it is going to be a difficult act for anyone to follow - but I am sure there are plenty waiting for the chance ! I have to admit I have felt for some time that she has been a little in the shadow of the big man and has the voice and personality to be something big in her own right.
At the risk of being controversial I don't think that CC could step up to this, her voice does not have the range that Patti has and I am not sure the chemistry is there.
Let's wait and see who takes the 'Hot Spot' at the RAH next month and make judgement after that !
