TES, a four-member ROCK
■singing group: have associate •
ed themselves with the highly
successful! Cornelius Brothers
and noted songstress Sister
Rose.
The devout astrology buffs
also have an alternate plan for
travel-the guidance of their
individual stars and zodiac
signs-as they persue their
goals of becoming well-known
and famous singers, movie
stars, and or models.
All four singers say they are>
serious students of astrology'
and are guided in their deci
sions by the signs. “We read
(books on astrology) ourselv
es to death." says Soulfonette
Valerie Woodard, “and we be
lieve that, as long as there is a
Virgo in the group, business
will get done."
After considerable reading,
the group gets together and
‘talk about it” (astrology),
says Valerie, who added that
none of them are taking any
formal courses of study in
astrology.
They are "stuck on astro
logy" and 21-year-old Valerie,
a Virgo, adds, “we do a lot of
sign work (making decisions
by the signs and stars).”
Other members of the group
who have been singing
together for 5 years since they
started in 1969 while at Second
Ward High School, are:
Martha Smith, age 20, a
Liora; Kegina Croslin, age 23,
a Leo; and Mary Massey, age
24, a Tarus.
