Yvonne Fair got her start as a latter-day member of <a href="spotify:artist:08kLJJHCIH3KZGk4FZmWSK">the Chantels</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:7GaxyUddsPok8BuhxN6OUW">the James Brown Revue</a>. Signed to Motown in the early '70s as a result of her work with <a href="spotify:artist:64wglyu5BoOzwMXYjtAbfS">Chuck Jackson</a>, she appeared in a minor role as a chanteuse in the film Lady Sings the Blues before hooking up with producer <a href="spotify:artist:1EVNxK3nqJ9gy9BwAZ3w3Q">Norman Whitfield</a> for a first-rate series of singles: "Love Ain't No Toy," "Walk Out the Door If You Wanna," what is perhaps the definitive version of "Funky Music Sho' 'Nuff Turns Me On," and a stunning remake of the <a href="spotify:artist:71pUA2TXf3JHUPUgsjLtuL">Kim Weston</a>/<a href="spotify:artist:2aXiJJHJei5BmCykxI37y0">Gladys Knight</a> semistandard "It Should Have Been Me," which dented the lower end of the pop charts in 1976. A raucous soul belter who deserved better at Motown, Fair died in 1994. ~ John Lowe, Rovi
