Emotive soul singer Doris Duke got her start backing gospel artists and was a mainstay at the Apollo in the early 1960s, cutting some demos for Motown that remain unreleased. After a debut single that made little impact (credited to Doris Willingham), she became Doris Duke at the behest of Swamp Dogg, who produced this acclaimed solo debut, 'I'm A Loser,' regarded by many as one of the best "deep soul" albums ever issued. Cheating saga 'To The Other Woman (I'm the Other Woman)' was a top-fifty pop hit and 'Feet Start Walking' also reached the US R&B charts, assuring Duke's eternal reputation, despite the collapse of Canyon Records, the label that first released this hefty gem. Originally released in 1969.
