The first time I ever saw her was on a Sanford and Son rerun. Of course, she's most remembered for Touched by an Angel. RIP.

Oh gosh. I watched Touched By An Angel every week. What an amazing woman and singer she was, and I will miss her.

I always loved to hear her sing this song.

Walk With You

RIP, Della. <3

May she rest in peace.

Didn't we all. She will be missed

I remember her song..."And That Reminds Me" before I even knew that it was based on a classical melody. I still know the lyrics. She was a good teacher. "Perhaps I might forget you but in my heart I know that I need no reminder to miss you so"...
Rest peacefully, my lady.

She was a superb jazz singer.

With Tommy Dorsey's Orchestra in 1956:

I remember her as a singer. She also had a daytime talk show in the '60s. The last time I saw her was in the movie Beauty Shop with Queen Latifah and Kevin Bacon.
