Why she might be annoying:

Her name sounds very generic.
At the end of the '60s, she released a grittier-sounding album which was a commercial failure.
After that, she scaled back from the music industry.
She soon found herself in the work-a-day world, where she did everything from running her own jewelry store to working security.

Why she might not be annoying:

She began writing songs at the age of nine.
The song 'Hello Stranger' on her debut Lp peaked at number three on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and #1 on the R&B chart in 1963.
Her hits have been covered by many artists such as Debby Boone, Yvonne Elliman and Queen Latifah.
Along with Lena Horne and Etta James, she was a pioneering spirit for R&B/Soul.
