I was unaware Francis Collins of The Crystals had passed away last year. Just read her son, rapper
Prodigy, passed away.

Yes, the above photo of the Crystals is from their trip to Europe in February 1964. Fran had recently joined them. Sadly, her son passed not too long after she did. I'm not sure how many kids she had, but I know she had a son when she joined the Crystals. Prodigy, however, passing at age 42, is not that son.

That would have been his brother Greg Johnson. I am not sure if he is still living,but they lived here on Long Island at one time.
