Singer Lavern Baker was born 11/11/1939 in Chicago. A pioneering R&B hit maker, she began performing as “Little Miss Sharecropper.” Her career took off when she signed with Atlantic Records in 1953 and scored hits with Tweedle Dee, Jim Dandy, Saved and See See Rider.

Born on this day: fiercely glamorous, blazingly soulful and sensual rhythm and blues queen LaVern Baker (née Delores LaVern Baker, 11 November 1929 – 10 March 1997). In her prime in the fifties and early sixties, Baker’s only rivals were fellow R&B divas like Ruth Brown and Etta James. #lavernbaker
(Delores) LaVern Baker, American R&B singer "who had several hit records on the pop chart in the 1950s and early 1960s" (Wikipedia), was born on Nov. 11, 1929 (d. 1997). #LaVernBaker
