Marjorie Ann Johnson was born in Shreveport, Louisiana, United States. Raised as a devout church goer, Evans early exposure to music was via gospel. In 1958, she moved to Los Angeles. She initially sang as a backing vocalist with Billy Ward between 1958 and 1964, before joining the Ron Marshall Orchestra between 1964 and 1969. She then successfully auditioned to join Johnny Otis Band. During her four-year stay there, she performed on The Johnny Otis Show Live at Monterey and Cuttin’ Up albums. In addition to her recording and performing duties, Evans used her influence to help set up the Southern California Blues Society to help promote the art form through education and sponsorship.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Her track “Good Feeling” (United Artists 246) entered the R&B chart on June 30, 1973 for four weeks, reaching number 55.

In 1975 she supplied backing vocals on Donald Byrd’s album, Stepping into Tomorrow.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
