  • description: http://www.cbc.ca/strombo/ Canada's lost one of its great voices: Cape Breton country and folk singer Rita MacNeil has died. She was 68. According to a statement from her publicist, she passed away April 16 following complications from surgery. She was known as Cape Breton's first lady of song - but she didn't start out as a confident performer. In fact, she was so notoriously shy that she didn't come into her own as a singer until a little later in life: at 42, she won a Juno Award for most promising female artist. But once she got off the ground, no one could stop her flying on her own.
