Sung backup on many James Brown records. Mainly did this as either one of the harmonizing Famous Flames (mid-'50s/early '60s) or as an enhancer of James Brown shouts over funky music (early '70s).
Was the only James Brown associate who performed on both Brown's debut album (1959's "Please Please Please") and Brown's final album (2002's "The Next Step").
