The Gospel Stars released several singles, along with the first Motown album. Lois Holden died days after this post, in May, but given events, it was somewhat missed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I never really listened to their music other than realising a moment ago Sweet Home Alabama was from them. I'm now listening to their songs on Spotify and rocking out to their music. I need to make a 70's and 80's music playlist because since doing the kill or save thing i've added hundreds of new songs to my Spotify likes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your original question never mentioned 'surviving original members', merely 'surviving members', ergo, my assertion re Ringo is correct. If you meant to say 'surviving original members' then fair enough, Ringo doesn't count, but you might at least admit you erred in your original post, rather than try and make it look as if everyone else is stupid. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
