Thank You Letter:
Gina Brown In Memoriam

Dear Daddy B Nice,

Thank you so much for the notice of Gina Brown's passing (Daddy B. Nice's Corner "News & Notes" February '24). She never got her full due for her excellent recordings over many years, not only "We're Having A Party" but "I'm a Lady (Not A Hoochie Mama)". And who can forget "G-Slide"? And she was great live in person. Thanks sincerely for reminding us of our southern soul history and this wonderful singer who might otherwise have passed away with little notice.

Blessings to you my brother,
Morris
