Chris Clark is far from the typical female Motown singer. This six foot tall, platinum blond, blue eyed soul singer was born in California and dated Gordy. Because her appearance was so unlike any of the other Motown artist of the time, she was often ridiculed by many. However, this thick-skinned girl had a gutsy, powerful voice which was often mistaken for that of an African American's voice. The track reached #105 on the pop charts and #41 on the R&B. Nevertheless, she was a unique contribution to Motown music. While the 1966 single, Love's Gone Bad was her only hit, she became very famous in England. She also later became the vice president for Motown Records based in Los Angeles.
