Thanks for posting this article. It explains a lot if you haven't read the liner notes to her anthology- which is a MUSH HAVE, if you haven't picked it up. She has an amazing voice. I'm glad that she was able to get a just a wee bit of closure as well.
Hmm, ‘Gladys Knight’s first hit’.....
I’m so glad to see Blinky finally receive her flowers. Her anthology set is amazing. Definitely worth the almost 20 year [[for me) wait.
This was a great read. I remember seeing her pictures with Edwin Starr, but I was so young and had only heard “Headline News” by Edwin, but nothing by Blinky. I later found out that she’s sings the “Good Times” tv show theme song. I will definitely look into her work. I’m intrigued.
The CD collection was released 3 months after the death of Clay McMurray. I find that rather sad. Good article though.
With the death of Edna Wright, I came upon a picture of the Cogics with which I had not been familar: [[Edna is top left; Blinky, top right)
