Gloria Coleman

I have never been a loss for words; this is a loss , however, I am having real trouble accepting. Losing you , Sister, my dear friend, Gloria broke my heart. Ours was a true friendship born on my third day in NYC (1971) as you elegantly, deliberately, played your Organ opposite Duke Ellington; showing a young girl from Texas, " Yes, the magic of Music, the Joy of Jazz was quite possible for Women too. I will carry your song of Sisterly love forever. I love you, Gloria. Please forgive my...

I was honored to witness your music and to consider myself as your friend

George and Gloria, our condolences for your great loss. You remain in our hearts. With love, 'The girls', Carol & Ruth

As Gloria might say...Yes, I been known to be aloof and sometimes a little gruff, And no, I didn't like a lot of silly stuff!
You see I knew my way around my instruments: the organ, the piano, and the bass. That's why wherever I went to show my face, I could play and sing and hold my place.
Fame didn't bother me. I didn't need a thrown, cause I could play my music, sing my music, and write my music on my own.
So when you think of me, here's the thing to do. Play my music!
