Most people forgot about Florence until she died. Even now, a random person won't know who she is. It all had to do with her career and personal issues.
I would argue among Motown's fallen legends that Tammi Terrell's, Marvin Gaye's, Paul Williams' and Bobby DeBarge's deaths were the most tragic.
The big reason Flo's death is tragic besides from missing out on a third chance in the music industry was she died way too young.
