She released her only album "Uptown" in 1971 on Maple, an obscure label distributed by All Platinum, which is said to be both a Canadian label and a New York label. Uptown". Most of the songs on the album were produced by New York producer Johnny Brantley, known for his work with Bobby Robbinson, and fully backed by the Ohio Players and Lee Moses & the Disciples. In addition to the funky "I'll Call You Back" and the two dancers on "Gotta Get Away" and "You Don't Mean It," the deep ballads are excellent. Including the rarity (the current market price is around 150,000 yen), it is like a female version of Lee Moses' album on the same label.A rare groove masterpiece strongly recommended for deep soul fans.
