Thursday music corner: Jazz and funk singer Louella "Spanky" Wilson was born in Philadelphi around 1947. She has released six studio albums between 1969 and 2006, including four between 1969 and 1975: Doin' It and Spankin' Brand New (both 1969), Let It Be (1970) and Specialty of the House (1975). After a period living and working in Europe, she returned to live in California, and collaborated with other artists including Philippe Milanta, the François Laudet Big Band and the Quantic Soul Orchestra.
Wilson's funk-soul cover of Cream's 1967 hit Sunshine of Your Love appeared as the second track on her debut soul recording Doin' It. The album also included covers of Light My Fire and Who's Sorry Now.
