Blood clots again (if this is accurate information). Where did I hear something eerily similar to this before?
It was 45 years ago this month (February) that banished member from the Supremes Florence Ballard passed away at 32 years old because of what was termed as a coronary thrombosis, a blood clot in a heart artery (if my memory serves me correctly). It was terrible news then as it is now! Especially with the 60th Anniversary of the signing at Motown of “the biggest girl group in the history of music” (in which I totally agree with the author) happening this year (January 15, 2021). I feel like it is 1976 all over again!
I still mourn the loss of Florence and now Legendary Supreme Mary Wilson. I will love them always!
