Reverend John "Bootsie" Wilson, the last surviving member of the Philadelphia-based R&B vocal group The Silhouettes (of "Get A Job" fame), passed away last Monday at his Spartanburg, South Carolina home at age 75.
He joined the group in 1961 (three years after they recorded their only major hit) after the departure of the group's original lead singer.
The Philadelphia-born Reverend Wilson moved to South Carolina in 1972 and became a minister.
