The performer died on Monday 21 March from organ failure, her family said.

Pace’s sister, Lydia, told US publication 11Alive that she had been on dialysis for five years waiting for a kidney.

The Atlanta singer was part of the Grammy-nominated sibling gospel group The Anointed Pace Sisters.

The group, from Atlanta’s Poole Creek, consisted of nine sisters. After performing in church and local talent shows in the 1970s, they became stars in the gospel genre.

Pace also had a solo career and was best known for her songs “I Know I’ve Been Changed” and “Act Like You Know”.

“Act Like You Know” became the soundtrack for a recent TikTok challenge, which saw users acting out real-life and relatable situations to its tune.

Lydia said her sister was so happy about the TikTok trend she had decided to make a new album.
