Her sister is Sylvia Shemwell, of the Sweet Inspirations who not only had hits in their own right but were also Elvis Presley's backup singers on the road in the '70s. Judy Clay had some kind of a voice ... wow !

Judy was an original member of The Drinkard Singers (Cissy Houston, Dee Dee and Dionne Warwick et al) and recorded a beautiful version of Sweet Hour of Prayer. Saw her in person when she was still singing Gospel. Beautiful lady, powerful voice and, oh, so talented. Miss her presence.

Ohhh...Judy, thats a voice girl, and thats a soul. Simply beautiful. God bless you honey, wherever your soul is now. ;)

This is deep soul at its finest. A wonderful track from a very talented singer.

[MrSoulSamCooke]

I don't know who she is

But She Had It Man!!

This is my kinda soul

[faraboverubies31]

a big, rich, dramatic voice perfectly suited to soul and gospel. she has the full, bottom-heavy contralto of gospel singer frances steadman and the nasal intonation and vocal signatures of nell carter.
