Ian Levine asked me to pass on the following

Would you please post on Soul Source that Liz lands passed away this morning in Atlanta.

Added by site:

Born Elizabeth Lands 1939 in The Georgia Sea Islands, grew up in New York City. Lands supposedly had a five octave vocal range started her Motown career before Gordy decided to make a name for her in the R&B/Pop market, sadly it wasn't to be. She had a brief career away from Motown before disappearing altogether until Ian Levine recorded her for his Motorcity label in the late 80's early 90's.

No more details are known at this time.
