Tuesday, March 8 marks International Women's Day, which celebrates the social, economic, cultural and political achievement of women.

It seems fitting that today we remember Smith singer Gayle McCormick, who passed away last week at 67. McCormick started her career singing songs by Tina Turner and Etta James before joining Smith, who had a Top 5 hit in 1969 with a cover of the Burt Bacharach song "Baby It's You". She then went solo which led to her self-titled debut in 1971.
