Singer Sybil Lynch, a former Miss N.C. A&T who has charted numerous Top 10 Billboard hits and toured globally, has been announced as the grand marshal of the 99th annual Greatest Homecoming on Earth Parade.

The parade is a major draw and a centerpiece of one of the biggest weekends in Greensboro — GHOE to the initiated — as the city prepares for tens of thousands of N.C. A&T State University's alumni and guests.

Lynch, who goes professionally by her first name, is a 1985 and 2018 graduate of the university, who rose to international fame in the 1980s and 1990s with R&B and pop hits like “Falling in Love,” “Don’t Make Me Over,” “Walk On By,” “The Love I Lost” and “When I’m Good and Ready,” while collaborating with icons such as Salt-N-Pepa. She is a staple of R&B and pop radio.
