Josh,
I was fortunate enough to see the "Miracle" tour with Labelle as the
backup.It was amazing.
I also saw Laura many years later with a group, and met her briefly.I
mentioned I was a huge Todd fan and she lit up.She said Todd was truly a
special person in her life.
Did not have the nerve to ask her if he saw her up and in LA.
