Little Miss Dynamite turned 87 last fall, but the fierce, soulful R&B she wrote and recorded in the 1960s hasn’t aged a day. | ✍️ Jake Austen
Sugar Pie DeSanto appears on day three of the Chicago Blues Festival, at a tribute set that also includes Lynne Jordan, Sheryl Youngblood, Joanna Connor, Radka Kasparcova, Sherri Weathersby, Roosevelt Purifoy, Dujuan Austin, and Johnny Iguana.When I say I love, I mean it. I’d never heard of her in 1987, when her first retrospective compilation was released, but I was so stunned by her beautiful smile on the cover that I bought it without a listen.
Umpeylia Balinton, born October 16, 1935, became Little Miss Sugar Pie when touring with R&B singer and producer Johnny Otis in the 50s. After the 1960 release of her biggest hit , she hit the road for a spell in James Brown’s revue . She then spent the rest of the decade in Chicago recording and writing fierce material for Chess Records.
Sugar Pie DeSanto’s “Witch for a Night,” belatedly released in 2009, was arranged by the great Charles Stepney. My devotion to the four-foot-eleven powerhouse has been sated by occasional new recordings and vault discoveries—theGo Go Power , will hex you too. Our one-sided relationship peaked when I helped interview her in the late 90s—she’d long been back in the Bay Area, where she grew up, but she’d returned to Chicago to play Buddy Guy’s Legends. The hour I spent backstage being utterly ignored as she howled foul-mouthed reminiscences at Chicago R&B royalty might be the best date I’ve ever been on.
