One of the few songs the "first West Coast Motown artist" recorded in Detroit.

From her Every Little Bit Hurts album.

Her sister Patrice was the singing voice for Valerie in Josie & The Pussycats. Cheryl Ladd (who was later on the TV show Charlie's Angels) was the voice for Josie.

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

She's the original vocalist behind "Every Little Bit Hurts" if that rings any bells.

No problem. Patrice is singing lead on this. That's also her on the album cover pic.
