The Tonettes Were

[Ady Croasdell]

Sly Stone, his sister Rose and his cousin Latanya (or something similar!)

Well that was the group that backed a 17 year old Gloria Scott in 1965(?) as she just told me.

Yep, same gal, Joe.

I remember seeing her at the City Hall in Sheffield, mid 70's.

Loved her version of the Elgins "Darling Baby" and bough the 45 and LP on the strength of it!.

...Actually no, she wasn't.

LS was a trio , only one of which - Vaetta - was a member of the Stone family (and was actally Sly's little sister). Rose was still in S&TFS when LS recorded "You're The One" and "Somebody's Watching You".
