Lorraine Chandler. R.I.P.

Not a great start to the 20s with news on social media about the passing of Lorraine Chandler. Lorraine having toured here was very approachable and engaging with her fans. Was for a time a very active member of Soul Source.

R.I.P. Lorraine and thank you for the music. 

Very sad news , an unbelievable catalogue of recordings and productions ,Many with Jack Ashford and Mike Terry of course .Rest in peace Lorraine 

Sad news indeed

All theses memories of dancing to great records by truly magnificent artists and they are slowly passing with time.

R.I.P Lorraine

How sad. Rest in peace and thank you for your  contribution to the sound track of my life.  

RIP Lorraine. Such a great artist and revered member of Soul Source. At least she knew how much she was loved in the UK and beyond.

VERY sad news,   damn 

So sad, beautiful lady, beautiful singer, Lorraine and Eddie at Stafford has to go down as one of the greatest allnighters in history, you just had to be there, I still have my three treasured signed RCA Demos, sad loss, a true 'Giant' of our mucical history

Very sad to hear this- enjoyed her music and her posts on Soul Source.

R.I.P. Lorraine !

Lost for words.

Loved her insights on here about her career and her soul connections.

The missing angel is going back to heaven.

Thank you for the beautiful contribution to the northern Soul scene R.I.P

Echo all of the above - such sad news and just shows how fragile life is . 

RIP

I’m out of the UK and just logged on  to SS and saw this. Feel physically sick (really).

god bless.

No No No. So so sorry. The number of records that I will never tire of that Lorraine was involved with in what ever capacity. Truly a total legend.

RIP

 Crying so sad

Genuine lovely lady and singer, always had time for a chat. Will be greatly missed.  RIP Lorraine. 

Oh my so sad what a loss great lady r.i.p

I can’t change - Just about sums up the terminology Northern Soul - you were recognised for you’re music, loved and more importantly respected in the UK - RIP 

Legend used too often - but not in this case! - RIP Lorraine.

A very sad start to the New Year. RIP Lorraine. You live on in our hearts.

Very sad news r.i.p Lorraine your music goes on 

Sad to hear of her passing, enjoyed her music and her contributions to Soul Source, but most of all I really enjoyed dancing to her music these past forty odd years

very sad news RIP  Lorraine Chandler 

You know she's one of the greats from your immediate reaction to seeing the title of this thread. Sad news indeed.

Your Highness Miss Chandler I bow to your genuine Majesty.

As a late teen the 45 'what can I do' was my first ever 45 I had to 'sought after'.

To hear it all over again just reminds me how good that tune is. Singer, producer...

What can I do when you're gone ? R-I-P

Just read the news.One of my all time fav artists.Her music will always be with us.

R.I.P. Lorraine.                                                   Fred Ward.

Lorraine, you were a real heroine of the Northern scene. Your records were perfection and you were so easy to talk to.

May God watch over you.

How Old ?????
