Earlier tonight, my mother, Anne Rice, passed away due to complications resulting from a stroke. She left us almost nineteen years to the day my father, her husband Stan, died. Below is a statement I posted to her Facebook page moments ago.
@MusicRow Those who were at the very first fests cringe at Amazon, Spotify and Grammy involvement at such a high level. Once about music and musicians, then came the money...#americanamusic#musicians#musicbiz
When I worked at Motown Hollywood, we had an entire room filled with lawsuits from Wilson...I always admired her for never giving up her fight. #MaryWilson#Motown#musicbiz
@rgay Yes! Somehow we do this thing where we just cant say "Im white." Like blinders are on! In Africa, such a relief to just say white, black, whatever...
