Remembrances |

“What a voice. Deanna could have made a platinum album. Her voice was strong and came straight from her soul. She was a wonderful woman, full of life, and light. She recorded with me in the Studio while making the Peoples Temple album.She really did not need us, she could have done the entire album with just her voice and it still would have been beautiful. Peace and much love. ” - Leslie Cathey (Wilson)“ A Tribute to Jonestown's Singer ” - Alicia Thompson“She was a Beautiful woman with a great voice and Talent, god bless her... ” - Cory“Deanna did have a beautiful singing voice. I saw her sing Earth, Wind & Fire's "That's The Way Of The World" in Bob Brown's NBC footage the night of Nov. 17th, 1978. I also enjoyed her voice on thr Peoples Temple "He's Able" album. It\'s such a shame she had to die so young. If not for Peoples Temple, she would become a very famous singer. She now sings with the angels. God bless you, Deanna!” - Christopher Garrett |
