Wasn't there talk a few years back that Jean was in the studio, recording a new jazz CD? I wonder if any tracks were ever completed, or what happened with the project?

Jean has no interest in the entertainment world so that is where your CD is.
She had interest for a DVD though? And hasn't she popped up a few times with Mary Flowers and Freddi Poole? I don't buy she has no interest.Quote:

Yes, Jean's silence on Mary's passing is sad & sorry. However ... is it a JW thing to not acknowledge death?Quote:

Personally I do find it the utmost phony when in life you wouldn't spit on a person if they were on fire, but in death you feel the need to say nice things you know you don't mean. I'd rather Jean be quiet than fake, if there was really bad blood between them. But I hope there was no bad blood and that Jean isn't also having health issues. Maybe Jean didn't think anyone cares what she thought about Mary's passing. She's not on social media and would it make sense for Jean Terrell, whom the general public hasn't heard a word about in eons, to send out a press release about Mary? Jean may have just offered her condolences personally to Turkessa and Pedro.Quote:

Jean has always been unpredictable and has chosen a life of anonymity and immersion into her religious beliefs. Several former members of the groups reached out to Jean after Mary's passing and for other events prior to that with no reponse. Jean also refused cooperation in the box set This Is The Story. I myself called her and asked her to reconsider, but she wouldn't.Quote:

I get it if she really has no interest in the business, but you'd think she'd want to give her thoughts in the compilation devoted to her time in the group. Bayou private message me Jean's number so I can get to the bottom of
this.:cool:
The only thing I can surmise re: Jean and no statement on Mary's passing is that all former Supremes [[sans Cindy, for obvious reasons) have a social media presence, except Jean. I'm not sure whete Jean could say something, if there's no where to say it? I do suppose she could have reached out to Scherrie and passed along her thoughts. I don't think there was any bad blood between Jean and Mary, but I've heard stories about Jean and another Former Lady, so perhaps that's why she's been quiet.
