Sad news . It's easy to overlook her because she didn't have the success her talent deserved but some of her original songs are real classics and went on to be hits for other artists. For example:

I'm Gonna Make You Love Me

You're No Good

Live performances seem to be rare but here's one on youtube. Classy, effortless and none of the over-singing/melody-wrecking that seems to pass for "great" singing these days.

This is sad news. Dee Dee was a fine Soul singer who recorded several excellent records during the 60's and 70's, but never gained the same level of success as more famous relatives, such as her sister Dionne.

Yeah, I think she was very underrated and I've personally always prefered her voice to Dionne's. This is a good song to show off her voice. It's the best version of it I've ever heard:

I Who Have Nothing

Very few singers around today come close to that imo.
