Soul Icon Gwen McCrae Passes Away at 81

Although "Rockin' Chair" was her only Hot 100 hit, she had a lengthy, critically-acclaimed career and maintained a devoted following, particularly in Europe.

If you believe Wikipedia, her one hit, "Rockin' Chair," was a sequel to George McCrae's single the previous year, "Rock Your Baby." As the name implies, they were married. 

"Gwen McCrae, George McCrae's wife, recorded an answer song to "Rock Your Baby" with George on backing vocals, released less than a year later. "Rockin' Chair" reached number one on the Billboard R&B chart and number nine on the Hot 100 in mid-1975."
