Justine Washington is best known as Baby Washington, but also recorded for reasons unknown as Jeanette Washington.
Possessing an incredible, earth voice, Justine's professional music career began in 1956 when she was all of 16 years old as a member of New York City group The Hearts. By 1959, she was recording as a solo artist.
Justine continues to sing to this day, performing occasionally on the east coast. Sadly, she was working on tracks with producer Juggy Murray (of Sue Records fame) who was quoted as saying he would "rather record Baby Washington than eat" when Juggy died in 2005.
This beautiful track showcases those amazing vocals, the fantastic New York City soul sound of Juggy Murray's production hand, and quality songwriting in Chip Taylor (of "Wild Thing" fame).
from 1963...
