Once again, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has skipped over my father, the late R&B singer Johnnie Taylor who has been eligible since 1996. As each year passes, I get madder and madder at the artist who are put in over him.
I mean not only was my father a great singer but he had to deal with a very racist society in fine tuning his craft.
I talked to former president of the hall of fame, Terry Stewart about two years ago. He told me about the process and I think it stinks. I think there should be a poll that the public can vote on. No one really knows who picks these artist at all and no one can challenge it
I am going to keep challenge them, until my father is placed where he deserves to be. With Disco Lady, my father had the FIRST PLATINUM single.
Will I have passed away by the time you guys put my father in the hall of fame? I will be 53 on November 23 of this year. It's looking more and more that way. It's a shame he's been passed over so many times.

He's worthy

Okay. How many more years is my father, Johnnie Taylor going to be skipped over? we are at year 24 and counting????? After doing my homework on this site, he can't even be found with other artist that are eligible. How can the man that had the FIRST EVER, EVER, EVER PLATINUM record, Disco Lady, certified by the RIAA not be inducted? I won't rest until he is in his place at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. You can count on that.

Are you really his daughter? If so, awesome!

The man had many great achievements and quite a career. Unfortunately though, he's got so much competition and on top of that there hasn't been much people in his genre inducted in the last decade. Don't worry, less and less people are taking the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame seriously.

Just because the "Hallowed Hall" wants to EXCLUDE R&B artists going forward in favor of RAP/HIP-HOP ?

The HUGE backlog of deserving R&B artists that are NOT getting inducted...or even NOMINATED is getting simply RIDICULOUS !!

Are you kidding me. Johnnie Taylor, Patti Labelle, and Dione Warwick NOT in Rock Hall of Fame.

I loved Johnny Taylor's music and i don't know why after all these years he is still not in the hall of fame

Johnnie Taylor should be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Hopefully, he is nominated in the future for induction. He was recently inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame this year.

30 years later, Johnnie Taylor is STILL waiting to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It is ridiculous!

Johnnie Taylor will probably never reach the rock & roll hall of fame,Johnnie once said himself I don,t care about the hall of fame,I care about the hall of my money ,he said himself the rock & roll hall of fame was not important to him,And Fonda Bryant needs to set down ,because Johnnie Taylor never even knew her ,Never owned her as his child,Never claimed Her.

It has now been 30 years and my father still hasn't been even nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He deserves to be there with his friends, Otis Redding and Sam Cooke. He made MUSIC and BLACK HISTORY by being the first artist to have a platinum record certified by the RIAA, along with his body of work.

Now on a personal note, Janet Boggs, has been bothering me, my brother TJ, my son, and anyone else she can find who we have contact with. Janet Boggs, we believe is my father's ex-wife that he DIVORCED 10 days before he died. She has been bothering us for over 20 years and seems to have no life. She goes on anything that we post and says the same old stuff like Charlie Brown's teacher. She is a coward because, on her Facebook page, she doesn't have a real profile, but a picture of a flower. If she knows so much, why won't she show her face and who she is? Again, she is a COWARD with no life. It is sad, that someone waste so much time being hateful instead of living their life like we are.

I have forgiven my father who dealt with substance abuse and the times he grew up in but you don't forget. At the end of the day, we can't help how we come here. No matter how much this person vents and acts stupid, she. Gerlean Rockett Taylor, can't take away ME, and TJ are his children. There are nine of us on paper but others out there with the same blood flowing through us.

I have moved on from this and Gerlean/Janet you should too. Seek help instead of bothering people who aren't thinking about you and your stupidity, help someone, take up a hobby but move on with the rest of your life. You are old, in your 80s, and still can't let things go...that in itself is SAD.

You started bothering TJ again, let it go...P.S. Do you know that what you are doing is a crime, cyber stalking....Eventually, we will find out exactly who you are. Oh, we know who you are. Bye, Gerlean!

Yes, if Bobby Womack and Percy Sledge can be inducted, Johnnie Taylor should at least be discussed.

Fonda Bryant,since you want me to show my face ,Why did,nt you show your face to Johnnie Taylor and his family instead of hiding for 40 years or more,and when he passed away you and your ma, pop up like a jack in the box,you and your mom,and your other outside sister and brother sound more like a coward than I do,because if I had a baby by him I would not have hid somewhere for 40 years,I would have came forward and confronted him when I saw he did Not want to do the right thing,And the o thing is this Not Gerlean Taylor,This Janet Boggs and for your information I been knowing Johnnie every since the early 1960S,But me and my husband belonged to a fishing and golf club ,he and Gerlean belong to that's how I met her,when you say she he divorced her 10 days before he died,You don,t use your brain too much , 10 days lol,they stayed together 30 YEARS,which is a whole lot longer than 10 days,and I case nobody has told you the real truth,It was Not him that wanted a divorce,It was her,had been lefted up to him there
would never have been a divorce,that's what was wrong with him,He had lost a nice wife.because Bobby Bland and Tyron David he told them down at Malaco records it was him not her and he was not going to fight her on it ,but they said he said she had been a good wife and good mother until he messed it ,Because he andBobby Bland and Tyrone David were just like brothers,I know that to be a fact.

Fonda Bryant and her mom,Tj Hooker and all the rest of Johnnie Taylor's outside children stayed hid for 40 years or more and never came forward while he was living and soon as he passes away they come running wanted his body exhumed,when they had 40 years or more to file paternity suits to get dna from him ,when they already knew the man never WANTED THEM,,and now they want to run a mans memory as tho they were in his life and wanted them ,PLEASE! The man were Strangers to them,He never bothered to go and see if they were living or what,and they going around here being Stupid enough to call him my father,DNA does Not make a man a father,and really in case ,He is their SPERM DONER,aman that never laid eyes on you ,Never even put his hands on you,Never seen you,Never claimed you how can he be your father,You need to quit hating on Gerlean ,because your Gerlean was the woman Johnnie fell in love with and wanted to marry,You need to quit being jealous because he Never wanted you Fonda and your ma.

Posted by Janet Boggs on Saturday, 01/13/2024 @ 21:53pm


Fonda and her mother came forward after Johnnie had passed,with all kinds of Lies,The only thing was True their DNA matched Johnnie two children ,because all that other lies were nothing but made up lies,Anybody with good sense knows it does not take a rocket scientist to figured it out,That's the reason she,s upset with me because she knows I,m telling the Truth,Johnnie Taylor was in Gastonia,NC one time and one night, the soul stirrers confirmed that in the early 2000s,And the next year when they went back after Johnnie had lefted the group,Fonda,s mother Peggye had another one time jumpoff with another soul stirrer Sonny Mitchell and had a baby by him ,Fonda won,t tell that,it's her brother,when Johnnie made Fonda on that one time jumpoff Johnnie had a wife and family back in Chicago ,his first wife who was Johnnie jr and Sabrina mother ,and Fonda have you ever thought about this,yes your DNA and the other two DNA Matched Jon,s And TashaDNA ,but it was Not confirmed by Johnnie ,he was dead So that means yes you are heirs to his estate Which nothing is probably never going to come from it anymore after you begged Sony for that little money,but this is my point You will never be accepted by Johnnie Taylor ,you will never be claimed or loved by him,because every time anybody ask him about his children he said Floyd,Johnnie Jr., Sabrina ,Jonathan and Latasha,,Johnnie,s family,the Taylor Side has a cousin that lives in west memphis,Ark.who is a friend of my husband and was very close to Johnnie told my husband that if you wanna see Johnnie act a damn fool,Say something to him about his Grandmother,his mother,Gerlean,Sabrina and Tasha then you would be in for a good old fashion Cussing out,So I,m Not trying to hide from you,my pic on Facebook into being shown is not because of you because I wish I could see you face to face it's a whole lot I could tell you about Johnnie ,because I can see you have been misinformed.

Posted by Janet Boggs on Saturday, 01/13/2024 @ 23:15pm


Fonda Bryant,just So you know it ,It's a lot you do not about Johnnie Taylor and his family,I know you do not like Gerlean ,but where you are concerned that's too bad,because Gerlean was the one he fell in love with and chose to marry and the one that he chose to have his other children with that he wanted,because the only children that he loved was Floyd,Johnnie jr., Sabrina,Jonathan and Latasha,It's sad but he Never Loved you or wanted you,Sabrina and Tasha were the two that got all the love from a father that girls are supposed to get,He had those two Spoiled Rotten when they were growing up, the family have the home videos,big Vacations,School activities, They have it all,Wish you could see them.

Johnnie Taylor will never be in the rock & Roll hall of fame,If it was intended for him to be in there ,his peers would have put him in there a long time ago,and Fonda for your information ,I live a good life,I,ve always had plenty,all my life,I have Never had to live in the projects,never had to go on Go Fund Me,begging,We are going on a family trip to Monaco,France this Spring,Last spring we to Italy on vacation,I know nothing about the kind of life and lifestyle you have lived.

Posted by Janet Boggs on Sunday, 01/14/2024 @ 18:19pm


Fonda Bryant said she gets madder and madder each year,Well looks like She will be for the rest of her life,because it's very unlikely that Johnnie will ever be in there now,S she will be mad,like who CARES AND WHO GIVES A RATS BEHIND,A nd like SHE SAID Gerlean Taylor cannot take away Her and Tj Hooker being Johnnie,s Children ,Well Fonda will Never be able to take away the Fact that Johnnie picked Gerlean to be his Wife and Share his life and and the luxury Rich life they enjoyed and shared together ,Which the biggest thing was the two beautiful children,Johnnie was ESCATIC ,She can get ready to deal with the FACT That the only thing Johnnie means to Her and the rest HIS OUTSIDE Children Is That He Is Only ThIER SPERM DONER,He DID NOT LOVE THEM, AndNever Will ,because How Can You Love Somebody That you Never Wanted in the first PLACE And Better yet Somebody that you Never Cared enough to ever Know,and the reason She cannot Stand the Stuff as she puts it ,is because she knows deep down She knows I,m telling the Truth,She wants people to believe her LIES .And if anybody needs help ,it's her because Johnnie Taylor,s outside children are what it is they are outside,they maybe heirs to his estate but that's all,he never claimed or wanted them ,he showed them he did not want them ,by staying out of their lives ,he had the family he wanted and loved,Fonda Bryant and TJ Hooker Cannot accept the Truthan do not want ,They know I,m telling the Truth,They do not want the truth told.

Fonda Bryant tried to throw off on Johnnie Taylor wife for being old,well She better hope that she be LUCKY enough to live a long life,I know she wish she could have traded that Sorry lifestyle of hers with the lifestyle that Gerlean had,Gerlean never been on Go fund Me begging people for money ,She did,nt have to go throught life ,being a single rundown that Know man wanted ,because of the lifestyle she led,Gerlean was a very respectful woman that lived up to it ,She was an upstanding woman ,Nobody can Never say that she sink to the bottom and is now trying to come up out of the gutter,Johnnie said out of his own mouth that she was a good wife until HE messed it up ,and Jon and Tasha She was the best mother anybody could ever have,and instead of you telling me to get it all together,you the one that needs to get it all together,Trifling ,opportunist,Shyster,you and tj Hooker the two that needs to stay out of af a man,s memory ,that Never wanted you in the first place ,Never wanted you in his life ,A piece of paper with DNA on it ,In this case don,t mean Nothing,the man was already dead he had Nothing to do with it,So he did Not Love ya,ll and Never Awill,And you need to get it out of your heads that drugs and alcohol kept him away from you,because that's a LIE, He DidNot want you because he knew your moms was run in,n and run outs ,he did,nt know them,he just what kind of female they wer,So he did Not want None of Ya,ll, ,Ya,ll needs to stay out of his memory,Thats for the wives and children that he accepted and Loved,Not people people that that he Never wanted and Claimed ,because he Never came to you because he did Not Want You,So if you wanted to know why he did Not Want You ,So you was the Trifling Coward that was hiding Something tha reason you did Not Want to Face Himand confront him,That was just like a coward to Stay hid and keep your mouth closed while he was living ,And the reason you talking about me is because you know I,m telling the TRuTH,And I will continue to tell the truth no matter what happens ,Because the TRUTH Stands ,Not Lies.

Dear Ms or Mrs Janet Biggs,

I'm just an outsider and fan of Johnnie Taylor. I am also a Man of God. Looking at this thread is troublesome. I don't know what is going on between you and Ms or Mrs Bryant but I urge you two to forgive one another because God admonish us to so that we can be forgiven for our sins and transgressions. We can NOT get into heaven feeling like what I am seeing you write on this thread. It's definitely something that shouldn't be on a public site for the world to see, but I urge you all to fix it. The way we live our lives here on earth determines where we spend eternity. Bitterness (which rott the bones), anger, strife, and such things are gateways for satin to enter our lives. Please let go of the past, Mr Taylor has been deceased almost 25 years. His voice loves on through music. Add value to his legacy by ending division. Ps .. He will get in the Hall of Fame one day.

Mr.Roderick Rudolph,I read your comment and if you are a man of god as you say you are,then you would know that god do Not like Liars,Nobody ,not even myself is taking up for Johnnie Taylor wrong doings,but when you make up Lies on him is a different story,Everything I have said about Fonda Bryant and her mom is the Truth,and I know the good Lord would want me to forgive ,but I refused to back down on What Is The Truth,Fonda Bryant refuses to accept the Truthand DoNot want the Truth Told,She wants to live the lies She,s telling,I was Not only a fan of Johnnie Taylor I been knowing Johnnie for 46 years and I also knew his family,Now since you are a man of god ,then you need to address Fonda Bryant about this,because I refuse to try and pamper folk that I know is Not right ,And She is Not mrs. Bryant ,She and her mom both Never been married,And if you want to know my problem with this is ,Me and my husband was friends with Johnnie,s family,and the way this was handled was horrible,since you are a man of god ,How do you feel about them busting in on his wife and children when he died meddling all into their business why would you do that if you were the right kind of people ,his wife and children had nothing to do with what he had done,Why did,nt they confront Johnnie all those years,and that will documentary was nothing but deception and Lies told by the 3 that came forward and Fonda Bryant,s mom,So like I said I,m Not going to pamper people for doing what they did,I sticking to the Truth.

Mr. Roderick Rudolph,You are right I have decided to let go of the past,but like I said not back down on the Truth and what I know is right,But I wanted to share this with you about the rock & roll hall of fame ,Johnnie Taylor always said and I often heard him say this ,The rock & roll hall of fame is Not important to me,what is important to me is my hall of money,and my opinion is and knowing what I know about the music industry since I was a child is that if he was going to be in there ,his music would have voted him in years ago.

Mr.Roderick:

I hope you are well. You are right; my father will be in the Rock Hall one day. He just got a Brass Music Not on Beale Street in Memphis, TN. Now, as far as Janet Boggs, she has been harassing, stalking, and slandering my name, my mom's, and TJ's for years, back in 2019. The MISTAKE, who we think is Gerlean, is that she is hiding behind a fake profile.

She has harassed my son, my friends, and even TJ's grandson. It is sad that this person, Gerlean, doesn't have a life and is dwelling in the past. Plus, it is none of her business. DNA proves who we are. Our father didn't love himself proving it daily by using drugs and alcohol instead of dealing with his mistakes and doing right by his children.

I have forgiven him because I know something happened to my father through trauma that contributed to his mental health and self-medicating. I have no feelings for my father either way but I will say this, "He takes better care of me in death than he ever did when he was alive." Everything is split equally and there is nothing Gerlean or anyone can do about it.

We can't help how we come here and if I'd had a choice who my father would be, it wouldn't have been someone who didn't care about anyone. He married Gerlean because she got him out of jail when he got arrested in the Bahamas. He was violent and when they divorced, he already had a girlfriend that he was going to marry, named Dorothy who came to court. She and Gerlean almost got into a fight...LOL

This fake profile person needs help ASAP. However, Janet Boggs had made a BIG mistake, she posted slanderous comments on a police page on YouTube. We will soon know who this deranged, and unhinged person is. I don't like to use words like that to descibe someone but in this case, the shoe fits. People have had to turn off their comments to keep Gerlean, Janet from posting.

Well, ALL that will soon be coming to an end. AN IP address is just like a home address. Pretty soon Janet.Gerlean I will know who you are and where you live, I plan on pressing criminal changes and suing you. Can't wait!

Fonda Bryant Is a Liar,She went to Memphis on Johnnie Taylor birthday ,begged them into doing a little bootleg celebration for him , I know at that time I was in memphis,Word was She begged the brass note foundation to do, Guess What As of Dec.9th of 2024, Iat has NOT Been Actually been Planted on Beale Street YET,She thinks These Things She ,S Hassaling and begging the rockN Roll hall of fame and begging for a note on Beale Street is Something that he Wanted ,What She does,nt Know these two things that he Cared Less about ,I saw him Say out of his Own Mouth that he Did,nt want a Brass Note on Beale Street because Beale Street brass Notes was for Blues Singers And He Never Wanted To be labeled as a blues Singer,And I also heard him Say Out of his own mouth that He did,nt Care about The Rock n Roll hall of fame It meant Nothing to him, all he Wanted Was his hall of money,And Fonda Bryant Knows NOTHING About Johnnie Taylor ,She Never Saw him ,She did Not Know Him,Same for him He Did Not Know Her Never Even Knew probably That She existed ,She Never Talked To Him Ever A LIE,So Fonda Has NO Idea What This Man Thought or What he did ,She NEVER Lived With Him,She Is Jealous ,And Trying to Compensate for Things That Never happen by making up LIES,Trying to retaliate by hoping she can make his family that he loved feel bad,When They Already Know She,s A Liar,And that Book,I have already read it ,Is full of Lies ,All the So Called Girlifriends were Not Girlfriends ,They were One Night Knockoffs and their Illigitimate Children and the Moms in the Book Did Nothing But LIE,He was Never in their lives ,Mamas and Children Neither One ,I would Hat for them to have to take Lie detector Test lol,Because They Would be Some BUSTED LIARS.

Thank you Janet Boggs for posting AGAIN and AGAIN. The more you post, the EASIER it will be to FIND you. Keep posting, harassing, and cyberstalking. You have to be one of the most foolish people I have ever seen. You are also sad and have no life outside of cyberstalking TJ and me. The estate has been settled for over 22 years. Everyone has MOVED on except YOU Gerlean! Talking about jealous. You can't let 22 years of being heirs of Johnnie Taylor go. The Dallas County Court in Dallas, Texas declared us HEIRS, and so did the DNA 99.99999%. No matter what you write or post, that fact can't be changed...>LOL

I feel sorry for you to a certain extent but as I said, "At the end of the day, My father, JOHHNIE TAYLOR takes better care of me in death when he was living. I have NO feelings for him either way. He didn't care about ANYONE, including himself. He did drugs and alcohol to the day he died. I feel part of that behavior was guilt.

You are funny too, taking a liar detector test? REALLY/? DNA is the best detector of ALL. I am tired of you bothering TJ and me, or anyone connected to us. I can't wait until we find out who you are, GERLEAN. You are a coward hiding behind a computer screen and fake profiles. You are OLD and need to do something with your life besides being focused on Johnnie Taylor's children. You might also want to take some English classes to know how to spell and write a sentence with punctuation. By the first of next year, you will be getting sued and served.

Oh and for clarification, Jon Hornyak with the Grammys in Memphis, and I came up with the idea for him to be celebrated. Because he was turning 90, STAX decided to put his birthday and the celebration together. Yes, his Brass Music Note is on Beale Street. I was sent an email to confirm that. Get some glasses but you probably haven't been to Memphis recently. just another lie.

You can get upset ALL you want but it won't change the fact, I am Johnnie Taylor's daughter, TJ Hooker is his son and WE GET royalties and ANYTHING else just like the rest of his kids, and NOTHING will change that. Every time I get royalties, back child support as I call it, I SMILE!!!!

Only a matter of time, before we find out for sure, who you are GERLEAN, Sabrina, or Tasha, and put an end to this sick foolishness. You really are one sad and sick individual who needs to seek help ASAP!

You are right about one thing though, I didn't know him, and glad I didn't. He was a mess but also needed help with his addiction. People just don't do drugs and alcohol for the fun of it. He had some issues, including not doing right by his children that caused a lot of it. Jehovah God gave us a conscious and I am sure this bothered him DAILY.

Dorothy, his fiance at the time of his death dodged a bullet by not marrying him. He only married Gerlean because she got him out of jail in the Bahamas and put up with his constant cheating, violent ways, and substance abuse.

Keep posting...the more you post, the easier to find you. You have no life and are miserable. With all that is going on in the world, you need to find a hobby, volunteer, and do something to help mankind.

Anyone who spends decades bothering and posting stupid stuff and lies to boot, there is something seriously wrong with that person. There is something seriously WRONG with you. AGAIN, SEEK PROFESSIONAL help. It is needed! People have gone to prison for doing much less harassing people online.

You spend so much time worrying about us. I don't spend any time thinking about you and your same old, and I mean same old comments. When I sent all your ranting to the police, they couldn't believe that someone had spent so much time over the YEARS bothering people and saying the same old stuff! Only someone personally involved with my father at some point could do something like this. Maury said it best, "Johnnie Taylor you are the father, you are the father, you are the father!!!!!" No matter how we got here, we are HERE! We can't help how we come here!

Forgot one more thing, Gerlean you sure did a great job of raising two criminals too, but I guess the apples don't fall too far from the tree. LaTasha and Jonathan stole thousands and thousands of dollars from ALL the heirs, several years ago from one of the streaming companies. Because of a FORGED death certificate by YOU Gerlean, your children stole over $250,000.00 but thanks to having a copy of the divorce decree and the Document of Heirship out of Dallas, Texas, Latasha and Jonathan. now have to pay back all the money they STOLE from the heirs, they stole. They won't be getting any money from that company for YEARS to come and better be glad, they aren't sitting in jail with you. After all, you were divorced from Johnnie Taylor the day he died. #Fraud

I was talking to TJ about all these posts, which are ALWAYS the same. Just you ranting and calling people names. From TJ and Ernie, I found out you were a "Lady of the Evening" and worked for my father...Isn't that something? You call into question people's morals and you had none. WOW!

I guess you do not have a life besides harassing and stalking people, it is why you do all of this. Tasha nor Jonathan have any children and you have no one besides them.

On my end, I am happy, helping others, and making a difference in the world with a handsome and well-educated son and beautiful grandson. TJ has a wife a beautiful family, and grandchildren. Remember, only Jehovah God can judge, not Gerlean "Bitter" Taylor. Bitterness will take a toll on your mental and physical health.

One more thing, you get %50 of the royalties, so think about investing in Grammarly. Your writing is terrible, always the same but terrible. You get madder and madder with the truth and facts. The truth shall set you free and I have that on my side.

This page should be used for the reason why, my father should be in the Rock Hall, not the ranting of an old, bitter, woman who stayed with a man who cheated on her, didn't respect her, and was violent. Who would want to put up with that? Oh you Gerlean, YOU!

I hope this site removes ALL of this. It is embarrassing that you have started ALL of this!
