Krysia Kocjan, whose plaintive, soaring voice was one of the band's most attractive features and who went on to provide superlative backing vocals for Al Stewart, The Kinks and many others, died on February 21, 2007 in Portland, Oregon where she has lived since 2000. A memorial service for Krysia was held in Los Angeles on Saturday, March 10, 2007.
