REVIEW
She was born Delores Baker in Chicago, Illinois. She began singing in Chicago clubs around 1946,
often billed as "Little Miss Sharecropper", and first recorded under that name in 1949. She
changed her name briefly to "Bea Baker" when recording for Okeh Records in 1951, and then became
LaVern Baker when singing with Todd Rhodes and his band in 1952.
In 1953 she signed for Atlantic Records as a solo artist, her first release being "Soul on
Fire". Her first hit came in early 1955, with the Latin-tempo "Tweedlee Dee" reaching #4 on the
R&B chart and #14 on the national US pop charts. Baker had a succession of hits on the R&B
charts over the next couple of years with her backing group The Gliders, including "Bop-Ting-A-
Ling" (#3 R&B), "Play It Fair" (#2 R&B), and "Still" (#4 R&B). At the end of 1956 she had
another smash hit with "Jim Dandy" (#1 R&B, #17 pop). Further hits followed for Atlantic,
including the follow-up "Jim Dandy Got Married" (#7 R&B), "I Cried A Tear" (#2 R&B, #6 pop in
1959), "I Waited Too Long" (#5 R&B, #3 pop, written by Neil Sedaka), "Saved" (#17 R&B, written
by Leiber and Stoller), and "See See Rider" (#9 R&B in 1963).
In addition to singing, Baker also did some work with Ed Sullivan and Alan Freed on TV and in
films, including Rock, Rock, Rock and Mr. Rock & Roll. In 1964, she recorded a Bessie Smith
tribute album, before leaving Atlantic and joining Brunswick Records, where she recorded as a
duo with Jackie Wilson.
In 1991, she was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Her song "Jim Dandy" was named
one of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll and was ranked #343
on the Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
LaVern Baker died from coronary complications in 1997, and was interred in the Maple Grove
Cemetery in Kew Gardens, New York.Unfortunatly she lies in an unmarked grave. A fundraiser has
been scheduled by local historians to give LaVern a headstone this coming April 2008.
