Once in 1969, GC & I motored to Chicago to visit with his sister. While there we traveled to Skokie, Illinois to attend a 2:00am musical show at the Old Mill Run Theatre. Quincy had as his musical guests Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway. At this performance, Quincy also introduced his daughter Rashida who was on her maiden voyage with the group. She was about 19 years old. Roberta & Donny were very popular at this time; together they performed several duets. Roberta was well known for her rendition of Carol King's "Natural Woman".
My children at that time would go to sleep with Roberta's 33 1/3 playing her selections.
The Skokie, Illinois show was great; very well attended and into the beat of the performing group.
