Singer Dee Edwards remains best known in Northern soul circles for
the cult classic "All the Way Home." Born Doris Jean Harrell in
Montgomery, AL, in June 1945, she began singing in her church choir at
age five. After the family's 1960 relocation to Detroit, Harrell and her
brother Albert teamed with fellow siblings Tommy and Freddy Martin to
form the Paragons.
This track was Edwards first solo release from 1962, she went onto
release a number of great songs on Dtown, Premium Stuff, Bump Shop, De
To, & Other minor Detroit Labels, RCA, Cotillion (look out for ‘Miracle
man’)
After a Minor hit with Miracle Man in the 1980s Dee retired from
Music to concentrate on her family. She died in 2006.
