Dear Family and Fans, There is something that I think you should know.
Gladys Horton of the Marvelettes, is very sick, and has been for quite some time. Of course I was hoping that she would improve, but she hasn't and I felt that you all should know.
Our music has impacted many of your lives. Please talk about how much OUR music means to you. Or you may write that information to me. The address is: The Original Marvelettes
PO Box 415
Inkster, MI 48141

I join with all the above SDF members in prayer for Ms. Gladys Horton - her talent and songs fill the memories and hearts of her fans around the world, - I hope she knows that she is loved by many many people.
We wish you a speedy recover, Ms. Horton.
According to Kat, Gladys has pneumonia and her lungs are stressed from the second hand smoke she caught from the clubs, over the years.
^ Oh no. That's tragic. Poor Gladys.
Wow... that's one of the downsides of showbiz. Too bad.
I will keep Gladys in my thoughts.
How is Gladys now?..Paulo xxx
Motown is a fabled place of legends - fiction and fact. It is indeed sad to hear about any of the legends that emerged from Motown in ill health.
We have all been down this road before - with some very sad results. Please continue to unite and pray for this dear lady - whose talent brought so many of us JOY!!!!
