Legendary jazz singer Cassandra Wilson died yesterday at the age of 70.

Wilson, who was best known for songs such as “Time After Time” and “Harvest Moon,” began her musical journey at age six where she learned piano. From there, she would attend Millsaps State College and Jackson State University where she would earn a degree in mass communication.

Her debut studio album Points of View released in 1986 and would go on to release 19 solo studio albums throughout her career.

Wilson also won a Grammy in 1997 for Best Jazz Vocal Performance for the album New Moon Daughter.

In a statement released by Jackson, Mississippi mayor John Horhn, “Jackson has lost an extraordinary native daughter, and the world has lost a singular musical voice,” “Cassandra Wilson carried the sound, spirit and history of Mississippi with her wherever her music reached.”
