Washington state native Genobia Jeter's roots in gospel music run even more deeply than most soul singers; she was the niece of the legendary <a href="spotify:artist:5emabmrswTmD2L1qVJbjAd">Rev. Julius Cheeks</a>, and started her singing career in his backing choir. Jeter signed with Savoy in 1980 and issued three gospel albums over the next two years: Heaven, Things Got to Get Better, and Genobia. Among the material on those albums was the <a href="spotify:artist:27o6v2N3H2YW2EPZjAMn0t">Glenn Jones</a> duet "Not Just for Today"; <a href="spotify:artist:27o6v2N3H2YW2EPZjAMn0t">Jones</a> would become a frequent duet partner over the next decade, and eventually Jeter's husband as well. Their first secular collaboration was 1983's "Keep On Doin'," recorded for a <a href="spotify:artist:27o6v2N3H2YW2EPZjAMn0t">Jones</a> release on RCA; Jeter subsequently signed with RCA as a secular urban contemporary artist herself, and debuted in 1986 with Genobia. Mixing quiet storm ballads and more up-tempo, danceable cuts, the album spun off singles in "All of My Love" (written and produced by the team of <a href="spotify:artist:2YT6FujbjJP3ohD51eOZIV">Meli'sa Morgan</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:5P0nY5tHjyRIdfhBpuTnq1">Lesette Wilson</a>) and "Together," another duet with <a href="spotify:artist:27o6v2N3H2YW2EPZjAMn0t">Jones</a>. Jeter and <a href="spotify:artist:27o6v2N3H2YW2EPZjAMn0t">Jones</a> later returned to the gospel scene, appearing together on <a href="spotify:artist:1EPpCbbQoN5loEfqOeuvFs">the Canton Spirituals</a>' 2002 release Walking by Faith. ~ Steve Huey, Rovi
