Inez Andrews' powerful contralto voice was among gospel's greatest since her days with <a href="spotify:artist:5ovZ9KFI7iYQFMT2O6DJhU">the Caravans</a> in the late '50s. Andrews' nickname, "Songbird," was coined by Don Robey when he formed a gospel subsidiary label of his Backbeat/Peacock operation. Andrews was among the first gospel artists he signed. She later recorded for <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Savoy%22">Savoy</a> and <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Spirit+Feel%22">Spirit Feel</a>. Her last release was Shine on Me in 1991 for <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22MCA%22">MCA</a>. Headline News, a collection of some of her finest solo work in the '70s, was released in 1999. Inez Andrews died in December 2012 in Chicago at the age of 83. ~ Ron Wynn, Rovi
