She made her debut with her 1961's single, "Guess Who I Saw Today."

Wilson's biggest hit came in 1964 with &quot You Don't Know) How Glad I Am," which rose through the charts to the #11 spot on Billboard's Hot 100 singles and earned her a Grammy Award for best R&B recording.

After a musical and acting career spanning more than six decades, she retired from live performances in 2011. She wanted "to spend all of her time with her family, especially her grandchildren," according to her website.
