Was working as a baker when she went to Malaco Studios in Jackson, Mississippi for a session with veteran producer Wardell Quezerque in 1970. Her 1971 sassy funk classic "Mr Big. Stuff" was her only hit to reach #1 on the Bilboard R&B charts and landed at #2 on the Pop charts. "Mr. Big Stuff," was shopped to Stax Records, who passed on it at first. However, after King Floyd's "Groove Me" went gold, Stax reconsidered and released "Mr. Big Stuff" in 1971. The song became one of the largest-selling singles ever released by the legendary label. Has a son, Emile.
