Rita was born on Mato Annetta Genita (nee Gallant) and Neil MacNeil. Some lit up their lighters in the darkness to accompany her anthemic hit, “Working Man.” Rita MacNeil, 77, of Stephenville, Newfoundland passed peacefully away on July 3rd, 2022 at the Sir Thomas Roddick Hospital, Stephenville. A wave of applause rose up spontaneously from the crowd even before MacNeil had a chance to begin singing “I’ll Accept the Rose.” Many Kuujjuammiut at MacNeil’s concert were clearly familiar with her songs. Two more independent LPs followed (Part of the Mystery in 1981 and Im Not What I Seem in 1983). They didn’t ask her for autographs, but merely wanted to shake her hand and welcome her to Kuujjuaq, where her songs continue to be standard fare on the community radio station, and where her former CBC television show “Rita and Friends” was always popular. A folksinger/songwriter since she was 17, Rita MacNeil recorded the independent album Born a Woman in 1975. Throughout the day, people of all ages kept approaching her. 18, 2000, a group of fans were already on hand to greet her, chanting “Ri-ta, Ri-ta!” Rita Macneil Live In Concert - YouTube 0:00 / 43:06 Rita Macneil Live In Concert Danny Moore 1.
