Yeah, demotownguy, she was one of a kind. If anyone deserved a home at the top of the charts, it was Viola. Why she never crossed over to the big time is beyond me. If anyone deserved it, it was her.

I must say that my knowledge about this idiom is limited...

However! I did a fun interview today. It was with Vera Brown, who was the lead singer of The Richie Family for a number of years, so that's another Philly act, referring loosely to a great thread here on this forum.
Many of us love a comeback story, and this is one, because Miss Brown lived through what she describes as the dark days of her life and came out on the other side. She released her DEBUT album as a solo performer in 2018, titled "Somebody", and now we are over in scripture based output. And she was just picked up by Sony Orchard, who are about to release the album worldwide and has plans for this singer, who is now based in Landisville. So that's a story that I thought I might share.

Here she is a few years back:
