MORE INFO:
Those who were there in the day, and serious students of R&B of yore, know the name and work of Belita Woods going back to her ’60s sides for Ollie McLaughlin’s Moira label and ’70s work with the group Brainstorm (she had the lead vocals on “Loving is Really My Game” and “This Must Be Heaven”). No doubt, more have seen and heard her as a vocalist with George Clinton’s P-Funk aggregations from the 1990s up until recently.

Now her friends are rallying to pay for her medical bills in the wake of a massive heart attack on April 10, 2011. She had to undergo emergency open heart surgery. The fundraiser features the music of Who Knows?, a special blend of guitarist/vocalist Richie Nagan, alto saxophonist Mark Whitecage and clarinetist Perry Robinson, joined by guests from the P-Funk All Stars: Michael “Clip” Payne on percussion, Greg Thomas on alto sax, and Bennie Cowen on trumpet. All money raised will go directly to the Belita Woods Medical Fund.
