| Many may not remember but Ms. Falana, recorded for RCA records where she had a small hit called, "There's A Man Out There Who Can Turn Me On", and I loved this record. Unfortunately, this was not a break through hit, even though it was a wonderful R&B record.
During happier times, Lola married one of the brother's, Feliciano "Butch" Tavares, from the famous disco R&B group, The Taveras "More Than A Woman" and "Only Takes A Moment to Fall In Love", fame. (1971 to 1975-divorced, no children)
In 1985 Ms. Falana was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis which went into remission in

1987 but returned in 1996, of which during this time she went to live with her parents in Philly.
At this time, the entertainer retired from show business and turned her life over to serving God as she become an Evangelist and she, by God's grace, recovered from M.S.
She then relocated back to Vegas, as a private citizen as she continues to spread the word of God.
Lola has said that success in the entertainment industry did not bring her happiness. She has been quoted as saying that her mission on this earth is to serve God.
