I’m sorry to hear the passing of Miss Belita. I was at the 930 club last night in Washington DC and I was looking forward to hearing her. RIP .. You will be missed.
Love the Voice, Love your gift and time that you took to speak with the fans….May peace and joy follow you. You have been Missed.
spent a valuable or memorable time with B and Garry several years back, in vegas,tremendous memories,cannot be replenished,may their legacies carry on beyond time….historians….
Belita was and is an angel. In Raleigh, NC where Pfunk rocked the joint for about 4.5 hours in 2012 or so, Belita Woods graciously handed my wife a blanket to stay warm during the cooling of the evening, while the band turned the mother out! !!! My wife waited patiently after the show to personally return the blanket to Belita Woods. Belita then hugged my wife and I and took pictures with my wife. Her voice was mind blowing! !! We truly miss her and think of her often. God bless you and the Funk. Rest in peace forever Belita Woods!!! Heaven has to be funky with you and the past Pfunk members there.
Love,
Arshad Y. Ali – Guardian and Defender of the Funk!!!!
just have to say Thank You Miss Belita Woods…
r.i.p. Belita, I loved your funk so much, you will always take me on a sentimental journey. Like Gary Schider, the funk will never be the same without you. You will be missed.—-
