    The way Cissy started was just so classy. She commanded attention from that first soprano entry.Haha I love the way Cissy slapped Patti. Patti's chest is off the chain.

    Roberta has a voice soft as butter, but make no mistake - that voice commands your attention and respect.
    Phyllis... what can I say that hasn't already been put into words? You were robbed! You haven't gotten the level of success your true talent deserved! The very second you start to sing... you command my attention! Girl... you could sing like none other. My only regret was being introduced to you after you were gone. You have my love & respect. Peace.

    Patti is literally the only singer i know that can oversing and sing out of melody and get away with it. There's something about her! She sings like its her life! Not caring about how people think or how she looks. I believe its honesty..i think thats how she is able to hit those notes.. she channel her inner self outward not inward

Pray for Valerie because today 8/26/11 is her birthday and I'm sure it's not easy after celebrating almost 50 years with her husband. It's good to know that God will be her comfort and strength, not just today but for the rest of her life.
