8 months pregnant….my journey starts with her…

American recording artist, best known as a star singer for Motown Records during the 1960s, most notably for a series of duets with singer Marvin Gaye. Terrell’s career began as a teenager, first recording for Wand Records, before spending nearly two years as a member of James Brown’s Revue, recording for Brown’s Try Me label. After a period attending college, Terrell recorded briefly for Checker Records, before signing with Motown in 1965. With Gaye, Terrell scored 7 Top 40 singles on the Billboard Hit 100, including “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” and “You’re All I Need to Get By”. Terrell’s career was interrupted after a late 1967 concert resulted in the singer collapsing in the arms of Gaye as the two performed, later resulting in her being diagnosed with a brain tumor.   Terrell would have eight unsuccessful operations before succumbing to the illness on March 16, 1970 at the age of 24.
