It's being reported over on The Motown Forum that singer Clydie King passed away. She sang back-up for Linda on both "Don't Cry Now" and "Heart Like a Wheel," as well as for many other musicians.
On The Motown Forum, Johnny Raven started the thread by saying: " Clydie King passed away last night at the age of 75. " By last night, I believe he means Monday, Jan. 7. Someone pointed out that Clydie is featured in the documentary "20 Feet From Stardom."
Will post more details as they become available.
Is this Clydie singing "back-up" for Linda on "The Midnight Special" ? --

Yes, that is Clydie King in the gold outfit and Shirlie Matthews in the darker outfit. Clydie was really getting into the groove.
