Her first single, "Hard Times", appeared in 1962, and following this she spent time singing in Syl Johnson's band. In 1964 she signed with Chess Records and released "Selfish One", which reached #11 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart.

She released an album, "Full Bloom", in 1965 as well, but after disputes with her record label she left Chess in 1967. She later recorded for Brunswick Records and Fountain Productions, but was unable to duplicate the success of "Selfish One".
