I'm very sad to report that Kate McGarrigle has died — she and her sister Anna recorded only 10 albums, but provided material for Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris and who knows who else. Their style and sound were a little odd compared to the more mellifluous sounds of some who covered them, but their fans are very dedicated.
Kate was also the mother of Rufus and Martha Wainwright.
There are several articles about her:
