Georgia-born soul singer Doris Curry began her career as Doris Whittingham after marrying Gus Whittingham of the Cadillacs and after backing Nina Simone on live album 'A Very Rare Evening', Swamp Dogg renamed her Doris Duke for her acclaimed solo debut, 'I'm A Loser'. The 1975 swansong, 'Woman', recorded for the British Contempo label and arranged by Gerry Shury, gets it contours from Ultrafunk's top-notch rhythm section and enhanced by the Armada Orchestra. A neglected classic that remained unjustly obscure, it has superb takes of 'Woman Of The Ghetto' and Mavis Staples' 'Pick Up The Pieces,' plus spirited originals.
