She established herself as a major soul singer recording 'The Time' (US R&B Top 30) and 'The Bells' (US R&B Top 20), both in 1959, and 'Nobody Cares' (US R&B Top 20) in 1961. This track for Neptune, 'Let's Love in the Moonlight', is one of the early tracks in her solo career. Moving to Sue Records in 1962, Washington hit the US national Top 40 with the sublime 'That's How Heartaches Are Made' (1963) and the US R&B Top 10 with 'Only Those In Love' (1965). Washington revived her career in the early 70s, recording in Philadelphia a duet with Don Gardner, a revival of the Marvelettes' 'Forever', (number 30 R&B), a solo release 'I've Got To Break Away' (number 73 R&B), and a well-received album. The coming of disco in the mid-70s effectively killed her career, as it did those of many soul artists.
