Why So Little Interest In Helping The Living?

[RobertZ]

A rhetorical question. Here are some charities we should all take interest in:
Society of Singers
Endorsed by Charlo [[“20 Feet …”, Harlette, “Sister Act”) Crossley
Society of Singers [[SOS) is a nonprofit 501[[c)[[3) charitable organization dedicated to maintaining and restoring the personal dignity, health, and welfare of professional vocalists nationwide

Rhythm & Blues Foundation
Endorsed by Aretha Franklin, Rhianna, Jerry Butler, Paul Schaeffer, etc. [[Plus, someone named Kenneth Gamble is Secretary)
The Rhythm & Blues Foundation is the only non-profit organization solely dedicated to preserving Rhythm & Blues music and celebrating the artists who create it.

Gospel Music Trust Fund
The Trust Fund was founded in 1983 by the late Herman Harper former member of the Oak Ridge Boys and President of The Harper Agency, a major booking agency for gospel artists. It exists to provide financial assistance, in the event of an emergency or major catastrophe, terminal or severe illness, to individuals who have derived a substantial portion of their income from the field of Gospel music.

The Blues Foundation
The Blues Foundation has established the HART Fund [[Handy Artists Relief Trust) for Blues musicians and their families in financial need due to a broad range of health concerns. The Fund provides for acute, chronic and preventive medical and dental care as well as funeral and burial expenses.

Thanks; I hope so, too! I can't help but be surprised that fans of this music obsess about who said what to whom and which member did or did not get a good royalty deal decades ago but seem to not be interested in the conditions of those still alive today - so all I can do is pass this sort of information on and hope someone gets involved!
