Brief biography courtesy of Wikipedia
Doris Troy (6 January 1937 Ð 16 February 2004) was an R&B singer, known to her many fans as "Mama Soul." She was born Doris Payne in The Bronx, the daughter of a Barbadian Pentecostal minister. Her parents disapproved of "subversive" forms of music like rhythm & blues, so she cut her teeth singing in her father's choir. She was working as an usherette at the Apollo where she was discovered by the 'Godfather of Soul', James Brown. Troy worked with Solomon Burke, The Drifters, Cissy Houston, and Dionne Warwick before she co-wrote and recorded "Just One Look," which hit #10 in 1963. The song has been covered by The Hollies, Linda Ronstadt, Bryan Ferry, and Harry Nilsson, among others. As her solo career peaked, she did back-up for the Rolling Stones, Kevin Ayers, Pink Floyd (on their seminal album Dark Side of the Moon), George Harrison, Dusty Springfield, Nick Drake and Carly Simon. "Mama, I Want To Sing," a stage musical based on her life, was co-written with her sister, Vy. It ran for 1,500 performances at the Heckscher Theatre in Harlem. Troy played her own mother, Geraldine. Chaka Khan played the young Doris. The musical will be turned into a motion picture in 2007. The movie's cast includes musicians Ciara, Ne-Yo, Bobby Valentino, Ralph Tresvant and the one and only Patti Labelle! Also starring is CSI: NY actor, Hill Harper. She died from emphysema at her home in Las Vegas, Nevada, aged 67.
