Don't know anthing about her other than the
odd writing credit here and there.

She worked at Motown with Al Kent and moved with him to Westbound if I remember rightly.

I've wondered if she's a relative (mother ?) of
keyboard player Kevin Toney of the Blackbyrds
who had numerous jazz crossover hits in the late
seventies. He's from Detroit originally so it
seems quite probable.
