Gwen's success story is amazing. She deserves her acknowledgment for being one of the greatest R&B lead singers during the era of the best music. Congratulations, Gwen, on all of her achievements. 💐 🌹
Natural Black Beauty
The sad part is that she now performs in a wheelchair after damaging her spine in a fall at home in London many years ago. Hasn't affected her voice or spirit and she was stunning when I saw her in July 22 - just wonderful. Thank you Gwen - can't wait to see you next time.
Her skin is so flawless and beautiful!!!

Maybe they would have if not the jealousy ,envy over the attention Gwen received , many think she was Rose Royce they got caught up in this. Over time, many interviews this could have been explained, why the group had this name,chose it but instead let this get so bad they until this day had not mended their relationship with her. They went in with other women and the one they have now they have had for years now but as good as she sound people want to see them with Gwen ,see the original group that she as a lead singer made us love them as a ground , their music.
OMG this woman voice can put any man in a trance, I never forget her voice at that time I though that time I thought her name was Rose Royce.
Still LOVES her voice❤❤❤❤💯 may our heavenly Father continue to wrap His loving arms around her and band makes 🙏🏽
Thank you for sharing the story. Glad to hear she pursued her dreams.
I love love love Gwen Dickey’s ANGELIC VOICE❤❤❤❤❤ How we fight who we are, smh…

If she had believed in her voice more, she would have gone to higher plateaus IMO. And she should have remained with the group
She had a lovely voice.

Wow the resemblance to Coco. And the fact that they both have those beautiful voices.
First Come, First Serve was my jam.
Until a year ago, I thought her name was Rose Norwalt--because that's the name listed underneath her picture on their first album in 1977.

Yeah she created Norwalt by combinding part of Norman Whitfield's first name and walter, Whitfield's audion engineer. Thanks for your comments.

Yes but she has for many years performed mainly oversea’s with her name Gwen Dickey. There are KZread videos showing her doing this and singing those hits we loved.
THE BEST SONG BY ROSE ROYCE WAS, “WATER”!!!!!!! SOOTHING TO THE SOUL… YOU GOTTA FEEL IT!!
The photo at 0.43 of Rolls Royce has a guy next to Gwen (to her left - our right) who looks like he could be her brother.
I love all you said about us not giving up on urself !!

Great story and video. I always wondered what happened with Gwen. I met Norman when I was in 10th grade. He became a friend up until he passed away.

Thanks. Yes, she is still around. We must recognize and give people their flowers while they are still with us. It's pretty cool that you were friends with the legendary Mr. Whitfield. I bet you have some really interesting stories.

@@DASIPPMEDIA A few. I am one of the people who would never say anything I heard, even if my sister told me something. That's why people trusted me lol. Its weird when you now a giant. You know them as a regular person but if you think about it, you say, whoa, that's the guy who did this or that. I worked for the Holland brothers also for a year.
