670 Doris Troy (1937-2004) “Just One Look” 1963

“Nicknamed ‘Mama Soul’ by her many British fans, Doris Troy was a singer who combined her gospel roots with a strong and dramatic vocal style to produce Just One Look, one of the most memorable rhythm and blues hits of the 1960s…Constantly used in films and advertising campaigns, it provided Troy with a steady income throughout the years. Or as Troy herself put it: ‘You know, baby, when I recorded that song in that little basement studio in New York, I asked God to keep that song alive for ever. And you know, He answers prayers! Cause something’s happened with Just One Look every year since” (The Times (United Kingdom), 3/1/2004).
