I'm A Loser
Doris Willingham, an incredibly soulful girl from New Jersey recorded her first single in 1966 and became a session singer, mostly in Philadelphia, singing back-up for Nina Simone and many others. In 1969, former Atlantic Records producer Jerry 'Swamp Dogg' Williams Jr. signed her as a solo artist, renaming her Doris Duke and recorded the album "I'm A Loser" at the Capricorn studios in Macon, Georgia. The first single, "To the Other Woman", reached no. 7 on the Billboard R&B chart, but further lack of promotion from a label that was about to fold saw the album slip into obscurity. Today it is regarded as one of the finest deep soul records of all time.
