We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of the beautiful and dynamic Anita Pointer. We know all too well the pain of losing a close family member so loved and cherished. Our deepest condolences and prayers to the Pointer Family from your devoted sisters in music.
We worked with Bill Withers at the historic Rumble in the Jungle boxing event in Zaire, Africa. On the trip he allowed me to draw his portrait. He was warm and friendly, the perfect gentleman. Eternally grateful that his light still shines through in his music 🖤

Joni was joy. She is so very missed but forever in our hearts, in the songs we sing and in the dances we dance. In her own precious words, there is 'Nothing Greater than Love' and with deepest love we remember her today ❤️

A symphonic explosion of rhythm and command in a universal tongue, and a truly trailblazing artist, we are shaken to hear of the loss of Tina Turner. An indominatable force of nature, a musical monarch and an undeniable Queen! Rest is power Tina. Your legacy is forever. 🖤
Missing my dear sister Joni on her birthday today (and always). We know she is dancing and singing in light, and from her mantra "Nothing is greater than Love", that she continues to watch over us and inspire us. We love you Joni! ❤️
