R.I.P.: Miriam Makeba

Miriam Makeba, the South African singer who wooed the world with her sultry voice but was banned from her own country for 30 years under apartheid, died early Monday after a concert in Italy. She was 76.
A private clinic near the southern Italian city of Naples, said the singer died after being brought there. Makeba apparently suffered a heart attack on stage after performing for 30 minutes at a concert against organized crime.
