Apologies on my tardiness regarding this bit of sad news. As you may have already heard, baritone Henry Fambrough, the last surviving member of the Detroit vocal group The Spinners died on Wednesday, February 7 in his Sterling, Virginia home, peacefully of natural causes — who does that anymore? — at age 85. It must be true, "if you stop, you die," because Fambrough continued giving performances until only last year when he retired.

It's a shame. We didn't want to lose you. RIP Henry.
