Norman Whitfield Tribute

Thank you Norman for taking my 2 kids Andre' and Monique' out for ice cream at Poinsetta Park in Hollywood. I'll never forget meeting you through my ex-boyfriend, Late Actor Ron O'Neal. You and Ron were very close. Thank you for your kindness to me and Ron then. Now the two of you can play Dominoes together now together in Heaven .... Harvey Fuqua too! You're in the best musical choir right now with the Angels .... Peace and Love Always ... Renee' Wilsonjavascript:void(null)

I remember Norman as a great song writer, a creative genius, and a warm gentle, caring, comical and loving human being. His smile and laughter was addictive. He had a keen sense of humor. He had a way of making you feel special. I consider myself very fortunate to have known him on a personal level; and I will love him forever. Norman, rest in peace and I know you are in heaven being the music creative genius that you are with your heavenly peers. I will always remember you as a wonderful man first, and a musically talented person second. I will never forget you and I feel honored that you touched my life.

I am a singer from Detroit. In 1967-68 I was working The Twenty Grand at 14th St. and Warren in Detroit with McKinley Jackson & The Politicians. On one end of the bar was Ted White, Aretha Franklin's husband and at the other end was Norman Whitfield. On every break I would go over and sit with Norman. I was having some personal problems at the time and Norman suggested that I buy a bible. I have the date written in on the day that I bought that bible. It was October 14, 1968. I will always be greatful to Norman for this, for this act brought me into the light. I thought about him through the years and had always hoped that I could see him again to thank him. I hope that he can hear me now. Thank you Norman.

Sincerely,

Kris Peterson
