I had never heard of her, until I listened to, "I Do," by, "The Moments," about 30(thirty) minutes ago. A comment mentioned that she had a version of the song. I listened to it, and while doing so, saw that she had a hit single in 1967 called, "Hyptonized." She does have a fine, SEXY, great, JAZZY, soothing, elegant, formidable, professional, relaxing, smooth, grown-up, pretty, voice. She left us far too early. RIP, BABY.

Such a tragic loss for the music world at such a young age!! And I don't know who the backing vocalists are, but they are EXCELLENT!! Superb timing and harmonic blend. Their sound complements her vocals perfectly!!
