Brenda sang You Can Cry on My Shoulder on Hollywood A Go-Go dated 16 October 1965. A clip has been online for a number of years, but I've only just paid close attention to the detail and it looks like a member of the audience could be her sister Patrice. I'm wondering what experts on this forum think. Here is a link to the clip:

The young lady first appears at around 2.09 min on the right hand side of the screen and becomes much more prominent throughout the rest of the clip. She is certainly familiar with the lyrics and there seems to be some acknowledgement between the two. Maybe it is just wishful thinking as the only live appearance by Patrice I am aware of is backing Aretha on Rock Steady on the Flip Wilson show in 1971. Given the date of the Hollywood A Go-Go show, Patrice would only have been around 15y. Anyway, it would be great to have your thoughts.

Goodness gracious, it is Patrice, isn't it....
Brenda was just too dang fine and had a great voice. Shame how they neglected her...

She also appeared on Soul Train in 1972 and 9th Street West circa 1967

Thanks everyone for the confirmation. The Music Scene Singers and 9th Street West were new to me. Hopefully clips of these performances will appear one day.

Thanks for this - unfortunately the DVD is £96 on Amazon so I shall have to rely on it being uploaded onto Youtube.
