*Jean Du Shon*
Jean DuShon (born Anna Jean Harris, 16 August 1935) is an American jazz and R&B singer, and stage actor. She is
 best known for her recordings in the 1960s, including the first recording of the song "For Once in My Life".

DuShon then joined Cootie Williams' band as featured vocalist, before being spotted by Ahmet Ertegun of Atlantic

 Records, who paired her with young producer Phil Spector. They recorded a version of Little Willie John's "Talk to Me,

 Talk to Me" on Atco in 1961, but it was unsuccessful. DuShon then recorded singles with various labels including

 Lennox, OKeh and Columbia, before joining Chess Records in 1964. There she recorded three albums. The

 first, Make Way for Jean DuShon, was recorded with the Lou Donaldson quintet and was released on

 the Argo subsidiary label in 1964. It was followed by You Better Believe Me, with the Ramsey Lewis Trio, in 1965, and

 finally Feeling Good, again with Donaldson and arranged by Oliver Nelson, on the Cadet label in 1966.

While with Cadet, she was contacted by Motown songwriter Ron Miller, with a song he had co-written, "For Once in My

 Life". She recorded the song, with arrangement by Bart Keyes and production by Esmond Edwards. The single was

 issued by Cadet in October 1966, became a local hit, and has been described as "a beauty, capped by soaring

 modulations that glimmer with the hopefulness of love". However, on hearing it and discovering that Miller was the co-

writer, Berry Gordy asked Chess not to promote it, and had the song recorded by, first, Barbara McNair, and later Stevie

 Wonder whose recording became a worldwide hit. After one further single, DuShon then left Chess, and did not record

 subsequently. She later said of the failure of "For Once In My Life": SHE GOT SCREWED!!!!
