Doris Troy had an extensive musical pedigree, and during her career she would write for and work with luminaries such as Dee Clark, Jackie Wilson, Chuck Jackson, Solomon Burke, the Drifters, James Brown, George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Tom Jones, Steven Stills and many others. Despite all of this, she would chart only once, with her very first single for Atlantic, “Just One Look,” a killer number that is a beach music favorite even today.
Doris Troy, unfairly remembered as a one-hit artist for the 1963 single “Just One Look,” bounced between girl group, blues, soul, and even ska and hard guitar rock styles, writing much of her own material. She experienced far more acclaim in Britain than her homeland, but a deal with the Beaties' Apple label in the early 1970s couldn’t make her a big name, although she sang backup on everything from Pink Floyd’s Dtirk Side of the Moon to Nick Drake.
