Her ‘Young, Gifted and Black’ with Bob Andy hit number five on the UK chart in 1970 before she joined her colleagues to form the I Threes.
The affable Griffiths recently shared a few things with OBSERVER ONLINE that you probably may not know about her.
She is very shy, although being in the spotlight all these years. She loves to cook, and the few people who know this keep coming back for her meals.
Her favourite place is anywhere is the open countryside where she can be one with nature. According to Griffiths, “Just give me that any day.” She is nicknamed ‘Mother Teresa’ which sometimes she considers to be a compliment and other times not so much. more
