Why Is Doris Duke Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Doris Willingham , known for much of her singing career as Doris Duke, was an American gospel and soul singer, best known for her 1969 album I'm a Loser. Biography Duke was born in Sandersville, Georgia, and reportedly started singing with gospel groups including the Queen of Gospel Albertina Walker and The Caravans, though this has been questioned. By 1963 she was working in New York City on sessions and as a backing singer at the Apollo Theatre. She also recorded some demos for Motown Records, but none were ever released.
