Who is Frankie Beverly dad?

Answer 1

Lloyd Taylor lived of Miller's Tavern Essex County VA, at least in the later years of his life. Frankie Beverly has familiy in Essex County VA. Lloyd stated that he had a sister who moved to north side of West Phila in the 1940's and that he visted her there often. Frinakie is reported to have been born in Phila in 1946. Lloyd stated publicly that he was Frankie's father and that when Frankie toured Richmond VA Frankie would provide him with tickets to venues and that Lloyd and his guests would join Frankie offstage and attend after-parties. Anyone that knew Lloyd knows that he had a very unique and distinctive gravely voice similar to Frankie. I understand that Lloyd did pass away in 2010 after a long illness. I do not know if Frankie attended any services. It stands to reason that Frankie could be Lloyd's child. However, when Frankie spoke to the press about his early years and his father he implied that this person was around in Phila as he grew up. Having said that I must say from my own experience that it is was not uncommon for parentage to be assumed for births occurring out of wedlock in the mid 20th century, particularly in cases of African American familys from south.
