Esther Phillips

About Esther Phillips

Initially a singer with Johnny Otis's 1950s R&B revue, Esther Phillips lent tremendous conviction to her performances of the soul-meets-country songs that flourished briefly in the early '60s, but, with her Dinah Washington-influenced vocals, she was also convincing in nearly every other pop style, from blues to '70s disco.
