Yes, she was a stand-in with The Chantels but unlike Tammi Montgomery, Yvonne had a baby by James Brown!!
Yvonne and I were friends, and she told me that when she recored It Should Have Been Me that it was because of the Gladys Knight version that she loved. I was totally disapointed because I love Kim Weston and when Gladys came to Motown, all her early Motown stuff sound as if she was trying to get that Motown sound by listening real hard to KIM!!
Yvonne was always sweet!! -- I miss her |

Great Pix of Yvonne...I remember when "Funky Music" was out she was on American Bandstand in a cave girl outfit and was so cool.I met her through Mary Wells and Yvonne was married to Sammy Strain at the time. I gave Yvonne my copy of "I Found You" on Federal and she was thrilled. |
