Singer Pat Lewis dies at 76

[Motown Eddie]

From SoulTracks.com-

She wasn’t a household name, but she made quite an impact on the music world over several decades. Today we mourn the passing of Pat Lewis at age 76.
Like many Pennsylvanians, Lewis and her family moved to Detroit when she was a child in the early 50s. And it was there she made a name for herself as a singer. In the early 60s, Lewis helped form the vocal quartet The Adorables, and briefly recorded for Golden World Records. But she soon went solo, issuing the modest hit single “Can’t Shake It Loose” in 1966.
But, though Lewis continued to sing as a solo act, she became a legend supporting other artists as a background singer. That auspicious career began at the Motown label, where Lewis backed Stevie Wonder and other artists on several tracks over the latter 60s.
