that would be their business and is in no way any indication of financial status or ability.
how low can someone be to post such a personal matter and use it as derogative gossip?
Your'e the one who wanted to know. Be careful what you ask for. And you consider getting money from a friend when you need it derogatory? I don't. And for the record, the BIGGEST reason that Lynda receieves alot of vitriol from fans, is because she was directly responsible for Jean leaving the FLOS. This is JEAN TERRELL we are talking about here, in the history of the group, Lynda is a small blip on the radar compared to Jean. And the fans want JEAN to sing those songs.

Put the crack pipe down, my brutha!
That is bad to post something sooo personal,no matter who it,is,ENTERTAINER,or a FRIEND,NEVER,NEVER NEVER.
Please stay positive
I've not seen pictures of the inside, but I DID like the solarium it seemed to have. However, like most high end housing developments these days, I felt the house was FAR too large for the size of the lot. Just greedy developers trying to get more money instead of making a more pleasant development. And I would have never gotten a house that backed up to a golf course. i'd be afraid i'd get a concussion from those flying balls. And who want to go out into their backyard or try to enjoy their pool and have a bunch of wrinkled, badly dressed old white men walking by with metal sticks in their hands. Hell to the NAW.
For the record....Jean Terrell left the FLOS for her own personal reasons in 1992. Lynda Laurence did not put her out.
Concerning the payment of someone's rent, this is a very ill-advised thing to post and Carl should be contacted.
If anyone feels they are being personally attacked, the moderator of this forum is the one to go to.
The bickering here is getting obnoxious.
I used to talk a lot with Carl F back in the early 2000's and while I don't know if he loaned anybody any money--I know for a fact he wouldn't want it posted on a public forum if he had. Show business is hard and Rick is absolutely right that it is getting harder and harder given the state of the economy. Even though I am 48 YO, I do video games for a living so I have a lot of friends who are in their 20's and early 30's, and I can tell you it is a fact that 95% of them can't even fathom the concept of actually purchasing music. It is so easy to simply steal it online, although they don't see it as stealing. The theft of intellectual property has reached levels undreamed of just 15 years ago--it has completely destabilized the recording industry and print media. I recall back in 1996 telling a bunch of Microsoft people that the internet would have an enormous destabilizing influence in many areas of American life and they laughed at me. Now that hackers have figured out how to pirate video games, nobody is laughing.
I just read Sammy Hagar's memoirs, and he said, quite correctly, that there is no more record industry--the only people who are selling any records these days are teeny bopper groups--mostly because young girls want the packaging for their collection. Bands are making the vast majority of their money touring, and Rick is right when he says most people under 40 don't even know who the Supremes were--most of the guys I work with have never even heard of Diana Ross!
Incorrect Marvin, as usual, it was their manager AT THAT TIME. Lynda and Scherrie were upset when Jean did not do an encore of Let My Heart Do The Walking, and the fans in attendance were disappointed that Scherrie and Lynda did this as a duet. But this was a one-time only performance and Jean felt she had done enough. It's all in how one looks at it. But it was NOT Lynda Laurence that banned her. She and Jean remain friends.
As usual my EYE! I have the video tape of the full concert you are referring too. I am not debating whether or not Scherrie & Lynda did the encore alone. I know that because I SEENT it! What you want to cover up it seems is the after effect of Jean's refusal to join them in that encore. Now do you want me to see if I can get "somebody" on here that will verify that yes, Lynda Laurence told Jean Terrell to her face , that night that she would never perform again as a FLO. Which is laughable anyway you look at it!
How would Lynda have the power to ban anybody? That doesn't make any sense.
Before I heard that Lynda Laurence fired her sister Sundray Tucker because she felt she had gain too much weight; had become fat.

It would be wise to drop this as FLOs management has been made aware of the slanderous statements and invalid "proof" of argument.
Thanks for the welcome. All I'm saying is that I don't see how Lynda would have the authority to expel Jean Terrell. I know several people who knew Jean Terrell well, and they all said that she didn't really like show business--she didn't like the phoniness of it, the constant traveling, the lack of privacy, and all of that. Having said that, it wouldn't be that surprising if JT just didn't want to get into that grind again with the FLO's. I don't know why there always has to be a bad guy. If JT didn't tour anymore with Lynda and Scherrie, I would imagine it was her own decision. Indecisiveness was never one of JT's character traits.
She didn't expel her [[at least not to my knowledge), people said she quit in 1992. I am referring to the night they performed a one off concert to buttress their legal defense fund in 1996 and Jean was back for that for that one show. It probably was just an empty threat.
I can believe that Jean does not like all that goes along with being a "star", but I do know she loves to sing and does so in front of an audience when she wants to!
