Today marks 35 years since Iolana Cristina Gigliotti died by suicide in Paris, France.
The world knows her as Dalida, international superstar, singer, actress, and global icon. I didn’t even know who she was until 2020, when I needed her voice and her story most, and I discovered this chanteuse, with whom I share so much.
Her voice affects me like no other, not my close friends, not Madonna, not even my cat’s. I connect with Dalida on so many levels like I never have in my entire lifetime - we share so much - Calabrese by blood, but citizens of the World - tormented by love and life, but joyous and exuberant to be alive - humble and scared but sexy and full of confidence - she is a spirit animal, a Mother in the Stars, a muse, and a lifesaver that I can reach 24 hours a day, even in my dreams.
