Review by Crijevo Aug 21, 2007 (edited over 2 years ago)
A beautiful woman, beautiful voice but ending life in sad circumstances (reportedly dying of AIDS) - the one eternally carved into 80s generation with 'Im Nin Alu' - ethno-pop hit which stormed the charts around the globe and back. Unique but as equally stereotyped, especially within the goth-circles; The Sisters Of Mercy in particular, capitalised on Ofra's mermerizing solos during a neverending version of 'The Temple of Love'. However, Andrew Edtrich was no fool when choosing her - no other female pop-vocalist could have sang it better than Haza did. R.I.P.
