A Motown Pioneer You Never Knew Has Passed At 91

Her name was Mable John, sister of Little Willie John, and she was the first solo female artist ever signed to the legendary Motown label. Her story, which I had never heard before, certainly details a pretty amazing life. 

Mable John, Motown's first solo female artist signed by Berry Gordy, has died at 91

"Sleep" as recorded by Mable John's brother Little Willie is an "Oh, Wow!" tune that radio has forgotten.   Pity.
