Sad news indeed, especially considering whom we have already lost just this year alone. My heart goes out to her family, friends and fans.

Didn't Edith co-host TvTv on the ABC in the mid 90's?

Can someone please tell me what Countdown episodes these vids are from? Cheers.

Oh that's so sad.
So young as well.

I remember her on Simon Townsend's Wonder World - always so bright and bubbly with the most brilliant smile that lit up the whole room.

Really liked If It's Love You Want.
Don't think I've heard or thought of that song since 1979. Brings back some fond memories...

November is officially Ozmusic month. It has been for as long as I can remember (22 years or so). Included, later in the month, is the ARIA awards!

It's a Cole Porter song from the 1934 musical of the same name.

I still have the single of this song as well as her only album. Thank you for the heads up of the clip on rage.

Re: Edith Bliss dead?!?! :-(

Missed it. I'm still going through a 'I hate rage' phase ever since they stuffed up the ratios with the Daryl Cotton vids. I still sometimes check out the playlist, esp. last weeks with the 2 members from the Oils guest programming. Disappointed again, that they only played 10 or so tracks at the end at about 5am in the morning!

BTW - did anybody else enjoy watching the James Bond vids a few weeks ago Saturday morning? 'Licence To Kill' was a must have. Wish they also played 'For Your Eyes Only' (Sheena Easton) and 'Goldeneye' (Tina Turner)

The Oils special was really odd last week - random (non-chronological) order, and several glaring omissions (do Rage not have the video for 'Dead Heart'? How can they have thrown it out, given Midnight Oil's Aussie 'icon' status?). There was also no 'Bedlam Bridge' video, or 'Redneck Wonderland'.

Plus the playlist stopped at 6am, when the special continued until 6:30, with a bunch of videos airing that didn't appear on the playlist.

All seems a bit... amateur.

All I can say is 'no attention to detail'.
