EWF. That Family groove foundation. It was built on Maurice, Verdine, and Freddy. We never had to say much... The Groove was in the Blood 🩸… RIP my little Brother.

Please 🛑 Stop And Pray fervently for my grandson Baile’ McDavid who has a mysterious skin illness with no real medical relief. Right now it’s a medical mystery of sorts ravishing his body and health. I'm asking people who really pray, to do so. 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

This news of Sheldon Reynolds transition is very sad for all of us who knew and worked with him. Sheldon vocally had Reese down. Sheldon was an excellent addition to the band, a great writer and producer, and a kind, loving person. He will be missed. Our condolences to his family

We were on our tour bus when we heard news of Carlos collapsing on stage. It was really hot up on stage tonight. We began to pray and were blessed by the video’s on social media that show him waving at fans as he left the stage. We’ll continue to pray that it wasn’t serious 🙏🏿❤️
