Miss DuShon was signed by Ahmet Ertegun to Atlantic Records, where she was produced by Phil Spector. Later, she contracted with Lenox Records, Columbia Records, ABC-Paramount and then Chess Records, where she recorded three albums. Many other recordings followed, including the very first-released recording of For Once In My Life. Ms. DuShon debuted off-Broadway in "No Strings Attached," followed by "The Crystal Tree" and "Helen of Troy." Broadway welcomed her in "What the Wine Sellers Buy," "Bubbling Brown Sugar," and "Blues in the Night." In regional theater, she starred in "Little Dreamer: A Nite In The Life of Bessie Smith."
