LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Singer Ruth Brown, whose recordings of "Teardrops in My Eyes," "5-10-15 Hours" and "(Mama) He Treats Your Daughter Mean" made her a rhythm-and-blues star in the 1950s, has died. She was 78.
Brown, who later in life won a Grammy and a Tony, died Friday of complications from a stroke and heart attack at a Las Vegas-area hospital, said Lindajo Loftus, a publicist for the Rhythm & Blues Foundation, which Brown helped establish.

I read this on the BBC website, and it completely glossed over me. I've honestly never heard of her; have we got any freebie links to recorded material or the like?

She was an amazing vocalist some of my favorite recordings of hers were duets done with BB King. You can here some samples of her on amazon.
