As husband and wife, headed up one of the most potent live acts on the R&B circuit during the '60s and early '70s. Guitarist and bandleader kept his ensemble tight and well-drilled while throwing in his own distinctively twangy plucking; lead vocalist was a ferocious whirlwind of power and energy, a raw sexual dynamo who was impossible to contain when she hit the stage, leading some critics to call her the first female singer to embody the true spirit of rock & roll. In their prime, specialized in a hard-driving, funked-up hybrid of soul and rock that, in its best moments, rose to a visceral frenzy that few R&B acts of any era could hope to match. Effusively praised by white rock luminaries like and , was unquestionably the star of the show, with a hugely powerful, raspy voice that ranks among the all-time soul greats.
