I saw on Marva Whitney's facebook where she was to reunite with Vicki Anderson and
Martha High as James Brown's Funky Divas on a show in Washington, D.C. which also
featured the Impressions June 4, 2011 [[and some comments say June 4, 2010), so
I am not sure which year, but it was cancelled due to low ticket sales.
What a shame! Several former JB players were to join the backing band and legendary
JB mc Danny Ray was to host.
I think what the agent handling them needs to do is get them on some big festivals
such as Jazz Fest in New Orleans where they get some good PR and [[hopefully) great
reviews and perhaps that could open up venues here in the U.S.
These women draw quite well overseas, but not here. I am sure it would have been
a fabulous show.
Anyone have any further info?
Also, WHERE OH WHERE is Marva's book???
