That’s very sad. If anyone shares my interest in and admiration for Motown Records, make sure to watch the movie, “The Temptations.’ It’s based on Otis Warren’s auto-bio, and it will remind you anew of what a great generation of young black singers gave us giants like Gladys Horton.

Sad news. Old Ben has some particular special memories associated with this song — oh well we are on on the conveyor belt.

I’d heard this on local radio earlier. Sad to go so young (by today’s standards). I hope she had a rich, fulfilling life after the group broke up. Certainly with the announcement by her son, we can hope she had a good family life. Thanks to Pandora, I’ve continued to enjoy all the great music from that era. Rest in Peace, Ms. Horton.
