Wendy was a part of the amazing label, Stax Records. Her stage name of "Wendy Rene" was actually given to her by the one and only Otis Redding. After a little while in her career she married a fellow Stax employee and had a child. She was going to fly out and perform with Otis Redding and the Bar-Kays for what was going to be her final last performance. She declined at the last minute for she wanted to say home with her newborn child. The plane ended up crashing in Madison, WI where Redding and six others died.
This track that I've posted below has been used in the Wu Tang classic, "Tears" as well as Alicia Keys cover of the tune. Every time that I play this out I have at least 2 people come up and ask me about it. By far one of the most amazing tracks of that era.
