My Take
Lena Zavaroni's story stops me cold every time. To be the youngest person ever with a top-ten UK album at age ten is a feat almost too large for a child to carry. I find myself less dazzled by the records than haunted by the weight placed on those tiny shoulders, and her death at thirty-five reframes the whole arc as a cautionary tale about fame and youth. Still, I refuse to reduce her to tragedy. The voice was genuinely remarkable, and I think she deserves to be remembered for the gift, not only the cost.
