Sylvia Shemwell Of The Sweets Bows Out Of Concert

July 16, 2002 | People
Sweet Inspirations member Sylvia Shemwell will not be able to join the cast for Elvis: The 25th Anniversary Concert in Memphis on August 16 as she planned. Over a year ago, a stroke left her with significant speech difficulties and and sigfificant paralysis on one side. Her recovery has been very slow and has not progressed to the point that making the trip to Memphis would be feasible, something she and all of our concert team had hoped for until these last weeks before show date. We will miss her terribly and will continue to look forward to her return to good health and her return to her audience.
