Gloria Jones passed away yesterday, Friday February 1st 2019. Deadheadland has no information on the cause of death.
Gloria was one of the singers in the Jerry Garcia Band, joining in September 1984, replacing DeeDee Dickerson, to sing alongside Jacklyn LaBranch, and continued with the band until Jerry Garcia‘s death in 1995 (wikipedia).
Their beautifully soulful gospel style of singing supported Garcia’s vocals and guitar, Melvin Seals keyboards, David Kemper‘s drums and John Kahn‘s bass lines, and are deeply etched into the hearts of so many of us.
Listen here to a few examples…
