The Joyettes

The Joyettes were a college singing group from Tuskegee, Alabama.  They all attended Tuskegee Institute.  They performed extensively and produced an album with the Jays, the precursors to the Commodores.  One of the original members Brenda Payton went on to produce albums with the Tabulations.

Brenda and the Tabulations are a group whom, whenever you mention their name to another Soul Music follower, always raise a cheerful (retrospective) smile. Brenda Payton passed away in 1992 at the youthful age of 46.

Hailing from Philadelphia, PA, Brenda Payton would team up with Maurice Coates in 1966. The two worked together at a Philly playground on Second and Lehigh, and while performing for their children they supervised at the end of the Summer, were discovered by Dionn Records owner Gilda Woods.
