The Kim Weston biography now enters its post-Motown phase. Unlike, say, her ex-duet partner's latter years, there's little drama to share. That may be because the public, not For the First Time, ignored her work and didn't care to scrutinize her life. Ever under the radar, she expanded her R&B repertoire to include jazz standards. In 1970, a cover of "Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing" did earn a chart ranking. In 1987, she won a minor distinction: first Motown singer to become a Motorcity artist.
