Born Elizabeth Lands, she grew up in New York City. Her purported five octave vocal range started her Motown career before Gordy tried to make a name for her in the R&B/Pop market. She left Motown in 1965, and recorded two singles for T & L Records. In the late 1980s/early 1990s, Lands re-emurged and Ian Levine recorded her for his Motorcity label.
