Biography

Edwards was married to the arranger Floyd Jones, and they collaborated on some songs that Guido Marasco released on his GM and Bumpshop record labels in 1970, releasing "Say It Again With Feeling".[2] After one RCA single in 1972, Jones followed up with the song for the De-To label, "I Can Deal With That", which was the last of Edwards' Detroit recording sessions.

The couple relocated to New York, enjoying Billboard chart action with a disco hit released on Cotillion in 1979, "Don't Sit Down", taken from the album Heavy Love, which also featured the ballad "No Love, No World" and her cover version of Acker Bilk's "Stranger On The Shore".

During the 1980s, Edwards recorded her own version of "It Has Come to My Attention", popular with the UK soul fraternity. A keen painter, Edwards then left the music industry to concentrate on her family in Detroit.

She died in 2006 of natural causes, at the age of 60.[1]

In 2010 Adidas featured a remix of "Why Can't There Be Love" by Pilooski in a commercial for the 'Celebrating Originality on the Streets' campaign.[3]
