We've posted a track at Elsewhere previously by this soul singer, but she was Doris Duke then.
Between being born Doris Curry and Doris Duke, she was Doris Willingham and had worked in Motown's New York office and as backing singer for Nina Simone.
You'd think that would have meant she was well placed for success but it wasn't to be, not even with slice of shouty soul.
That came later when she fell in love with the man they call Swamp Dogg who recorded her in Georgie – as Doris Duke – for the great album I'm A Loser in 1970.
And that was where came in last time with the terrific song To the Other Woman, I'm the Other Woman.
Before you flick over to that get a taste of her when she was Doris Willingham.
