Hello Everyone,
​
Here’s hoping you all are well and happy.

We had a ball at our 40th Anniversary show on Saturday, July 18th at the Catalina Jazz club in Hollywood, CA.  

It was a “SOLD OUT!” show and wow… did the fans, friends & families show up for us!  Because it was a special anniversary celebration we incorporated a few surprises threaded throughout the evening.

It was so uplifting to see so many people show up for us.  Not to mention the 3 Standing Ovations during the course of the evening.  It was so gratifying.

We sprinkled in new costume choices, that always delight our fans.   Our new gowns were giving L.S.O. Designs all evening!  Linda Stokes is an AMAZING designer!

Having videos along side us added a nostalgic touch to the show.  It is always good to have a bit of history to solidify the work we have done over the past 40 years.  

Of course we could not have done the show without our wonderful musical director, Mr. Ron Hasley.  Ron is a true musician through and through! He makes sure things are done right! Thank you Ron, you’re the Best!

I’d also like to give a “shout out” and thanks to Pamela Vincent & Shoshanna Payne Phillips for their back up vocal support. You sounded great as always!

A big “THANK YOU!” to our special guests Ms. Freddie Pool & Ms. Susaye Greene. Freddi performed alongside us from 1996 to 2009. Susaye is lovingly knows as “The Last Supreme” joining the Motown trio in 1976-1977.  She was also a member of FLOS 2017-2024.  Freddie and Susaye, we thank you and we honor you, your fabulous performances that evening were simply SUPREME!  

To our fans, we can never THANK YOU enough for the years of loyalty you have given us.  Your caring over the years has given us the fortitude to keep going and  to never give up!  So once again THANK YOU to our steadfast fans & friends for being a surrounding force that keeps us going.

Having said all of that, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention our glue, our right and left arms, our binder and uniter……..our associate, Mr. Eric Iversen.  Eric is truly the hardest working person in show business!  This show and everything related to FLOS is a reflection of his diligent industriousness with our group.

At the show, his name was called out more than any other that night! That’s because he knew every nuance of the show! It is a joy to work with such a dedicated, unpretentious and loyal person.  We love working with Eric, and we look forward to continuing our long standing relationship.

There are two others I must mention.  First from the U.K. Mr. Steve Weaver, who recorded our video history that opened the show. Steve has done so much more,  but for now…we say THANK YOU so much for helping us bring this show to fruition.

Last but not least is William Norman, who is our “Johnny on the spot!” He is there to look after us and that is exactly what he does! His famous expression is “I’ve got you.” He sees to everything that needs to be seen to!  So we say “THANK YOU Will!”   Your hard work is most definitely seen and appreciated.

It was a great night with great people and we had great fun! I have to thank my “Sisters Supreme” Scherrie Payne & Joyce Vincent, we truly had a memorable 40th Anniversary Celebration!

So Keep The Music Playing
Love Always
