Vocalist from
Tampa, Florida, who was a member of The 5 Crystals with Zulema
Cusseaux until the two of them co-founded The Lovelles with Albert Bailey. They morphed into Faith, Hope & Charity
and released an eponymous album in 1970, followed up by Heavy Love in 1972.
Zulema went
solo and Albert and Brenda released “Talking About Loving You”,
backed with “This Has Happened Before”, in 1974.
In 1975,
Faith, Hope & Charity (with Diane Destry in
tow) re-emerged with “Mellow Me” and “To Each His
Own”. These were
succeeded by “Life Goes
On”/”You’re My Piece of Mind” in 1976, and
another self-titled album in 1978.
Brenda also
contributed backing vocals to the Van McCoy albums, Disco Baby, The Disco Kid,
Lonely Dancer, My Favourite
Fantasy, The Real McCoy, and Rhythms of the World, as well as Zulema’s RSVP
and Z-Licious. Other albums on which she appears
include Gary U.S. Bonds’ Dedication,
Dismasters’ And Then Some, and The
Very Best of Stacy Lattisaw.
