Doris Duke was born Doris Curry, in Sandersville, Georgia on May 18, 1941. By 1963, Doris had reached the New York City music scene and was earning a crust as both a session singer and a regular back-up artist at the city's famed Apollo Theatre. 'Running Away From Loneliness', her first single, came out in 1966. Two years later her pairing of 'You Can't Do That' and 'Lost Again', (bonus tracks on the CD) came out on the newly-minted Jay Boy label. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Doris+Duke">R
