Source: https://newsillustrated.net/

The Rhode Island-born Claudia Lennear gained fame as part of The Ikettes, which did backup vocals for Ike and Tina Turner.  After leaving the group, she worked with several artists and did more backup singing before releasing her first and only solo album in 1973 for Warner Brothers called Phew!  While still with The Ikettes, she had relationships with Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones and David Bowie, whose songs Brown Sugar and Lady Grinning Soul, respectively, were said to be inspired by Lennear.  The beautiful singer subsequently appeared in Playboy magazine in a pictorial entitled Brown Sugar.
