Remember Doreen Waddell, a former vocalist with the groups Soul II Soul and KLF, died in a traffic accident, apparently after running from a store where she had been accused of shoplifting, police said. She was 36. Waddell died March 1, 2002 after she was hit by cars on a highway in Shoreham in southern England, Sussex police said. It took several days to identify her body. Police said it appeared she had been running from a supermarket after being confronted about shoplifting.
She was struck by three cars on the nearby A27 highway and was pronounced dead at a local hospital. Goods from the store were found scattered across the road. Waddell, who used the stage name Do'reen, sang on the influential British dance band's best-selling 1989 album "Club Classics Volume I'' and was lead vocalist on the songs "Feel Free'' and "Happiness.'' I found this last year on Myra Panache's site
When I remember incidences like these, I say to myself.....whatever happened to the others? Now comes word that the founding member of Soul II Soul Jazzie O.B.E just did an EXCLUSIVE interview with Hip-Hop Chronicle. It brings back some damn good memories!
