This was sad. I know she was mainly known amongst hip-hop circles, especially when she did hooks on songs for Death Row artists way back when, as well as did her own songs. It's weird, because if I was to discuss this singer, I would have to specify and pronounce her name as "joo-ell" as it was pronounced as such, as well as to avoid confusion with Jewel Kilcher (the folk/country singer), who usually went by her first name.

RIP Jewell.
