Today In 1997, LaVern Baker, one of the most influential R&B singers of the 1950s, died in New York at age 67. She had suffered from diabetes and had both legs amputated below the knees two years earlier. Baker had 20 R&B hits beginning in 1955, including “Tweedle Dee,” “Jim Dandy” and “I Cried a Tear.” Like other black artists of the period, Baker saw many of her songs covered by white artists, whose versions out-sold the originals. She was openly scornful of Georgia Gibbs, whose copy of “Tweedle Dee” was a big hit. In 1991, Baker became the second female artist — after Aretha Franklin — to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
