  2. Fayette was part of my favorite line-up of TTD. Her voice was just as strong and distinctive as Sheila's, yet they blended so harmoniously. TTD was second only to the Supremes when it came to girl group glamour. There is a treasure trove of TTD performances from this era on Youtube.

    RIP, sweet girl.
