Disco legend, Viola Wills, passed away earlier this week in Los Angeles, California after a long illness.Here's the press release from her official website www.violawills.com:
"It is with great sadness that Vi's family report Viola passed peacefully away after a long illness, May 6th 8.27am Pacific Time. Viola leaves behind six children - Vincent, Christopher, Regina, La Donna, David and Rejal, 21 grandchildren and eight great grandchildren. Viola's favourite saying to her family was always 'Aim for the sky and always dare to dream.' Vi's service will be held at the Angeles Memorial Park, 1515 E Compton Blvd, Compton, Ca, 90221 at 11.30 on May 15, 2009 - all are welcome. On Viola's behalf her family wish a special heartfelt thanks to all of Vi's fans over the years, whom, Vi always said, allowed her dreams to come true."
As a tribute to this legendary disco diva, I share with you here my favorite Viola Wills tunes:
"Gonna Get Along Without You Now"
"If You Could Read My Mind Now"
Thank you Viola for keeping us dancing...may she rest in peace!
