Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Her most important legacy is her voice, followed closely by her presence!. She was a commanding entertainer, whom I've had the privilege of seeing and hearing several times in Coconut Grove one or two generations ago!.

She was Billie Holiday, Pete Seeger and African music all rolled into one!. She was a compelling artist to watch on stage!.

These would be among her "Actions and legacies!."Www@QuestionHome@Com
