First group The Gems Replaced Vandine Harris ...Minnie was discovered in the Hyde Park High School A Cappella Choir by Raynard Miner and Rose Miller. They brought her to Chess Records in late 1963 and teamed her up with the Gems (Jessica Collins, Theresa Washum, Bertha Watts and Dorothy Hucklebee), a group out of Marshall High on the West Side. Miner was a member as a pianist and composer, and Miller was the group's manager. Minnie replaced a girl who was leaving, Vandine Harris. http://meltingpot.fortunecity.com/norway/119/gems.html Apr 22 03, 6:36 AM
