Marva Whitney, soul singer that worked with James Brown, passed last night in Kansas City around 11pm. R.I.P. to a really good soul singer indeed.

Marva Whitney is dead.

Long live Ms. Whitney.

RIP

Dang, RIP miss Whitney. I always liked her.

It kinda sucks getting little information about this though. You think her being linked to James Brown would get her some press especially due to her death. Check your orgnote RnB.

rip marva.

WHAT?????? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope Mr. SooooooulPower stops by and says a few words.

I always admired and liked Ms. Whitney, may her soul Rest In Peace.

This is soul folks.

Since there was no official news about it when I read it here, I waited for him to post something on FB.
His comment was pretty touching. I knew he would know the real deal.
