She was 63. Music producer Walter Millsap III said she was in a Sprinter van about 4 a.m. heading back to Atlanta from Alabama when it flipped and was hit by a big rig. Millsap says the others in the van survived.

The singer-songwriter created hits like “No More Rain (In This Cloud)” which reached No. 1 for 10 weeks on Billboard’s Adult R&B airplay chart, “Baby” with legendary soul singer Betty Wright, another No. 1 hit, and “Wish I Didn’t Miss You” and “Brotha.”
