CLYDIE KING 

Sad to read reports of the death of singer Clydie King at 75. News coming in as I write this . . . . .  

Rumours abounded about her relationship with Bob and various folk report she married him and bore him two children. If the rumours of her demise are true our thoughts and care and love go out to them and Bob too!
