Misty Browning
Oral History Information
Misty Browning loved to watch the smiles on the faces of those in her church as a child when they began to sing. She noticed their mannerisms and expressions completely changed once the music started. She knew then that hers would be a life in music! She toured with the all-female group The Flirtations, recorded and taught music, all the while bringing the joy of music everyplace she went. Everyplace! Misty passed away at the age of 70 in 2021 and an article online stated, “Her music and grand presence were infused with the spirit of her Texas roots. She was an engaging story teller who spoke of African-American heritage, and her lilting voice maintained power and youth, so captivating and emotive that even world famous musicians took note". She is missed.
