[Mr Bill]

Terrell was replaced by Scherrie Payne.

...And I believe this is the same woman who recorded one album for ALMOSounds as "Sherrie Payne-Ford."

--Mr Bill

 

[LPJim]

I thought so, and initially included this in the post, but deleted it. The Almo album's not listed in the discography, and elsewhere Ford-Payne is said to be someone else whose actual last name is 'Brown.'
Confusing!

[Mr Bill]

Hmmm. Curiouser and curiouser. Maybe it isn't the same person. Warrants deepr investigation.

--Mr Bill

 

[A&Mguyfromwayback]

It's got to be the same person......Sherrie is Freda Payne's sister, by the who......

There's an extensive listing on Scherrie Payne on Wikipedia which seems well put together and reliable, and doesn't mention the Sheree Ford-Payne album. So it must be a different person. Perhaps they're related....
