Rest in Peace Jill Sobule
I didn't see this on the General Discussion Board. So sad.
Jill Sobule, singer of 1995 hit tracks “I Kissed a Girl” and “Supermodel,” has died at the age of 66.
Sobule died early Thursday morning in a house fire, according to a statement from her publicity firm.
On Friday, CNN affiliate WCCO reported that firefighters were called early the previous morning to a residence in Woodbury, Minnesota, where they found a home fully engulfed in flames. One of the residents made it out but said another person was still inside. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
The Denver-born singer’s song “I Kissed a Girl,” off of her 1995 self-titled album, became the first openly LGBTQ-themed song to chart on the Billboard Top 20.
She is perhaps best known for her single “Supermodel,” also off her self-titled album, which was her second. “Supermodel” was prominently featured in the popular 1995 movie “Clueless,” helping Sobule break through to the mainstream.
John Porter, Jill’s manager, said in a statement that Sobule was “a force of nature and human rights advocate whose music is woven into our culture” and that he hopes her “music, memory, & legacy continue to live on and inspire others.”...
