Instead, she hooked up with a group of gifted but <a href=http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9907EEDE103AF933A1575AC0A9659C8B63>long-overlooked musicians</a> who were among the prime movers and shapers of "The Miami Sound" of the Seventies: Betty Wright ("Clean Up Woman"), Timmy Thomas ("Why Can't We Live Together"), Latimore ("Let's Straighten It Out") and Little Beaver ("Party Down"). Some of them had not been in the studio for years; Little Beaver was working for Amtrak and Timmy Thomas was a college administrator when they got the call. Together they recorded her first album, <a href="http://www.s-curverecords.com/joss/">The Soul Sessions</a>, in only four days.
