    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. 💐 🌹

    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.

    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.
