Obituary:  Singer Barbara Ann Alston, 74, one of the original members of the early sixties girl group the Crystals, has died in North Carolina after a bout with the flu.

The group was formed by Alston along with friends, Dee Dee Kennibrew, Mary Thomas, Patricia Wright, and La La Brooks. They all had a background in singing with the church.
