Goldsoul Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Not sure if anyone knows yet, but Viola Wills passed away yesterday. Recording for Bronco, Supreme and various UK labels, Vi had been living in Brighton for a few years until a recent move back to LA. She was a good friend of mine.

Guest Dave Turner Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Sad news indeed. Have fond memories of being invited into the "dressing room" to meet her at Cleethorpes Winter Gardens back in the late 70's. Very nice lady and very easy to chat to.
