==Biography==
She was born in Philadelphia, and was raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, reputedly gaining the nickname "Spanky" as a result of the spankings she received from her father.〔( Biography by Marisa Brown, ''Allmusic.com'' ). Retrieved 4 October 2015〕 She started singing as a child and after an early marriage, began performing in clubs aged 17 with Stanley Turrentine. She was soon recruited by Jimmy McGriff for a national tour, which ended in 1967 in Los Angeles, California. There, she sang in clubs and was introduced to H. B. Barnum, who invited her to record. She sang as a backing vocalist on records by Letta Mbulu, O. C. Smith, Lou Rawls and others, before releasing her first single, "The Last Day of Summer", produced by Barnum and released in early 1969.〔( "Spanky Wilson, She's Always Spankin' Brand New to Somebody", ''I Dig PGH'', 3 October 2011 ). Retrieved 4 October 2015〕 This was followed by the album ''Spankin' Brand New'' (1969), on which all the songs were written by composer and pianist Howlett Smith. Wilson released several further singles on Mothers Records, a label set up in Hollywood by Jay Ward, and two more albums, ''Doin' It'' (1969) and ''Let It Be'' (1970).〔( Spanky Wilson discography, ''Discogs.com'' ).

She has shared the stage with soul and jazz legends such as Marvin Gaye, Sammy Davis Jr., organists Jimmy McGriff and Brother Jack McDuff, cornetist Nat Adderley, percussionist Willie Bobo, Lalo Schifrin and Jimmy Smith.〔 In 1971 she moved to Detroit and sang in clubs before recording for Eastbound, a subsidiary of Westbound Records. The 1974 single "Home" was again co-written by Howlett Smith, and she released the album ''Specialty of the House'' the following year. She returned to live in Los Angeles, and performed in clubs there for several years, before moving to Paris, France, in 1985 and re-marrying. During the late 1980s and 1990s, she performed mainly in France, Germany and other parts of Europe. In 1999, she released the album ''Things Are Getting Better'' with the Philippe Milanta Trio. About the same time, several compilations of her earlier recordings were released in Britain.〔
In 2000, after she had returned to live in California, she was contacted by British DJ and record producer Will Holland of The Quantic Soul Orchestra, and they began working together. They recorded several singles, and released the album ''I'm Thankful'' in 2006.〔 She is featured on the 2012 album from writer/producer Frank Fitzpatrick entitled ''Scenes In Jazz''. Wilson also performed on the featured theme song of the film ''High Chicago'', entitled "That Rainy Day."
