Edna Wright

I've always said if I could sing like anybody ever, I would choose Edna Wright. It's a shame Honey Cone only had one #1 hit in the US, because so many of Edna's songs were so wonderful. I'm just an old white lady who probably looks ridiculous singing, "Help! I've been robbed" at the top of my lungs in my car, but I've loved Edna's songs since I first "Stick Up" in the dime store when I was ten years old. I'm so sorry to her friends and family. It's a great loss, but I hope your...

My favorite songs by her: "Want Ads" (1971) the year I graduated from high school; and "The Day That I Lost You" (1972). One evening I was looking for a song "V.I.P." by Scherrie Payne. What came up was a version of the song by The Honey Cone. I had never heard their version. It was more beautiful than Scherrie's! That's what prompted me to look up Edna Wright. The last time I had seen her was on a video with "Mary, Mary" in 2005. I found out she died in 2020. I was shocked! But I...

She is a pioneer in the music industry. She had such a beautiful voice. She lives on and is definitely a legacy.

I must have been under a rock for the last 2 years. Today is 8/15/22 and I was looking up information and I was shocked to learn Edna Wright had passed. My heart is broken how I loved her. The soul Tapestry Album I loved. So many great songs the group made. My heart goes out to the family I just don't know how that got by me. I always hope for a reunion with Carolyn & Shelly. God rest your soul Edna a fan 4 ever

Dear Edna, The Song: “Want Ads” Is My Favorite Song By Your Group: “Honey Cone”. I Was So Young When I First Heard That Song. And I Remember All Of The Girls In The Neighborhood Singing It. MAY YOU REST IN PEACE WITH THE LORD.

Our condolences to the Wright family, friends, and fans.
what beautiful songs

This native white Detroiter loves soul music..
because of another great voice out there,
all the hits were superb, but THE DAY THAT
I LOST YOU is the one of the greatest ever
sent from heaven,,,God bless & keep this
girl, after all He gave her to us music lovers...

Am so shocked and sadden about the death of Edna Wright last year.

She was lead singer of the Honey Cone.

RIP
