Jackson Brown, Cassandra Wilson, Buddy Guy, Amy Grant, Solomon Burke and Little

programs, had her songs featured in major motion pictures and created a remarkable
canon of work. Her 1989 first album, Steady On, produced by Leventhal, won the Grammy
Award for Best Contemporary Folk Recording. Over several decades, she’s established
