Bernd Grimmel from Germany provided this sad news to TBGB:
“Gloryland Gospel announced the passing of Mildred Miller Howard, former member of Birmingham’s great Gospel Harmonettes. Mildred Howard joined the Harmonettes before Dorothy Love Coates did and stayed with them until 1969. Maybe Evelyn Starks Hardy now is the only surviving member.
John “Boots” Carter was a member of Troy Ramey & The Soul Searchers. Minister Addison posted his passing on Gloryland Gospel. Carter also recorded with Tommy Ellison and the Singing Stars.”
Our hearts and prayers pour out to the families, friends and fans of Ms. Howard and Mr. Carter.
