This was posted awhile ago but I can confirm all four Curry Women (Doris, Joyce, Jeraldine & Regina) are all sisters. Doris was the oldest, Jeraldine is my grandmother.

Thanks for your kind comments. The 45 you are featuring is mentioned in my new article on Doris Duke which I believe Mike the admin is going to post to this group shortly. Keep a watch out for it. I a
I’m not sure if this has been proven before but I can confirm that sisters Joyce and Geraldine (birth name Jeraldine) Curry (comprising one half of the All Platinum group The Heartstoppers) are two of the three sisters of deep-soul favourite Doris Duke (birth surname Curry). These names appear as her sisters in her obituary and as they were all based in Newark NJ, the coincidence is far too great not be a fact. (Doris was born in Georgia but relocated to NJ at a very early age as she attended a Newark elementary school and then High School). She had one other sister, Regina, but I am not aware of her having a singing career. Those with an interest beyond soul might like to know that Doris’ husband Johnathan Augustus Willingham was Johnny ‘Gus’ Willingham, a founder-member of the doo-wop and R&B group The Cadillacs. Doris and ‘Gus’ had four sons.
