Despite her rigorous pursuit of the ideal image for the music industry, Shelly’s health visibly declined, with friends and band members noticing unexplained weight loss and persistent fatigue.

Just found these podcasts. I am delighted somebody is recognising Shelly. I have owned “Wheels” since a trip to Nashville many years ago and I love the album. We heard Shelly and her band in a bar by total chance. I was heart-broken when I heard she had died. I have always felt her story needed telling so GOOD FOR YOU that you are putting it out there.
