TBGB learned from Tony Heilbut, who heard from Roberta Martin Singer Eugene Smith, that Sister Irma Gwynn passed away this morning, April 23.
Gwynn was a featured soloist with Chicago’s famed First Church of Deliverance choir and was featured on Heilbut’s All God’s Sons and Daughters album on Spirit Feel.
More details on the homegoing services to follow in a future blog entry.
WLUW’s “Gospel Memories” radio show will rebroadcast its interview with Sister Gwynn on May 7. Go to www.gospelmemories.com for information on the rebroadcast.
