David Peaston (Fontella Bass) - Special Lady

[hpowers6]

This is the sounds of another Unsung great!! David Peaston could open up his mouth and "sang". To Curtis Fondren, who wrote this cut, BIG thumbs up. I LOVE this cut. It is so smooth and sexy from the lyrics to the music and definately to the voice of David Peaston. May he rest in peace.

Wow that is quite a family lineage. I have enjoyed each and every one of them in their time---which is ageless and timeless. RIP David Peaston. The Heavenly choir has one heck of a tenor section--Eddie K., Luther V., David P.! Talk about makin' a joyful noise!!

[Jomeadows1]

David was a great singer, just as his mother, Miss Martha Bass of The Clara Wards Singers, and also his older sister, "Rescue Me" Fontella Bass. R.I.P. David, and his Mother. Get well soon Fontella.

What a voice! First Don Cornelius and now David? Very sad...

[PepsiJunkie52]

So sad to hear of his passing today. May his spirit continue on its journey bringing with his soul his gift for music. I know that God and all spirits in God's kingdom will enjoy hearing his vibrations of sound that we humans can only imagine, but we did get a glimpse of his gift, and it will be missed here on earth.
