DeSanto was exacting about her craft. Often the only woman in the studio, and standing at just four feet, eleven inches tall, she developed a reputation for her tough personality and mischievous humor.
After touring with James Brown in 1960 and 1961, DeSanto made her way to Chicago to work with Chess Records. Her bluesy, seductive single 'Slip-In Mules' hit No. 10 on Billboard in 1964.
That is one of the reasons I think that she has lasted; she was a writer and a poet and a lyricist. So that when she's performing, she's telling you something that's on her heart and on her mind.
