She studied piano as a child but preferred singing, and as a teenager, she sang in bands in Indiana. At 21, she moved to Denver, adopting the stage name Pinky Winters. In 1953, she relocated to Los Angeles and began performing in local clubs, captivating audiences with her intimate and husky stylings. In the fall of 1954, Bob Andrews offered her the opportunity to record for his Vantage label. The result was "Pinky," her debut album, an impressive start for a singer with deep emotional interpretation and excellent musical imagination. The simple and unobtrusive accompaniment was provided by Bud Lavin on piano, Jim Wolf (Pinky's first husband) on bass, and Stan Levey on drums. Lonely One: Early in 1956, Leonard Chess recorded Pinky’s second album, "The Lonely One," for his Argo Records, at Capitol Studios. The tunes were obviously selected with care, and each one was given the full treatment. The musicians Gerald Wiggins on piano, Joe Comfort on bass, Chico Hamilton on drums, and Howard Roberts, Pinky’s preferred guitarist, provided the corresponding background to the mood. With this album, Pinky’s relaxed personal style, sense of dynamics, and respect for the challenges in each song solidified her reputation as a vocalist in the jazz scene. Tracklist: 01.
