Born in the Homewood neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, she attended George Westinghouse High School〔 and studied music at the Filion School of Music in Pittsburgh. Later she performed regularly in the Hill District, a jazz hotspot, as a vocalist with the Joe Westray Orchestra, a popular Pittsburgh orchestra. She next spent several years in the nightclub circuit in such cities as Detroit, Indianapolis, Cleveland and St. Louis. While in New York, she was noticed singing at a Harlem nightclub called the Baby Grand by Dave Cavanaugh, a producer for Capitol Records. She was signed and released several singles, her success leading her to win ''Down Beat'' magazine's "Most Promising Newcomer" award in 1955. In 1958, Staton wed Talib Dawud,〔(Eugene Chadbourne, Talib Dawud biography, AllMusic. )〕 a black Antigua-born Ahmadi Muslim trumpeter and noted critic of Elijah Muhammad.〔Clegg, Claude Andrew.

She released several critically acclaimed albums in the late 1950s and early 1960s, including: ''The Late, Late Show'' (1957), whose title track was her biggest hit, ''In the Night'' (1957), a collaboration with pianist George Shearing, ''Dynamic!'' (1958) and ''Dakota at Storyville'' (1961), a live album recorded at the Storyville jazz club in Boston. In the mid-1960s Staton moved to England, where she recorded the album ''Dakota ′67''.
