简介
by Steve Huey Best known as a duet partner of Marvin Gaye, Kim Weston also charted with some of her own solo sides during the 60s, although she never had the breakout success of a Martha Reeves or Diana Ross. Born Agatha Natalie Weston in Detroit in 1939, she started singing in her church choir at age three, and by her teenage years had joined a touring gospel group called the Wright Specials. She signed with Motown during the companys early days, scoring a minor R she and her husband, producer William Mickey Stevenson, moved to MGM, but a pair of albums there (For the First Time and This Is America) proved to be commercial failures. Weston subsequently recorded for Volt (Kim Kim Kim), People (Big Brass Four Poster, an album of jazz standards with the Hastings Street Jazz Experience), and Johnny Nashs Banyan Tree, all without much success. She did, however, chart with her version of the anthem Lift Evry Voice and Sing in 1970. Weston largely disappeared from the music industry during the 70s; in 1987, Weston became the first of many Motown artists to work with British producer Ian Levine on the Motorcity label, re-recording many of her old hits for the Northern soul market; her two albums for Motorcity, 1990s Investigate and 1992s Talking Loud, also featured some new material.
