Life and career

Richardson was born Edna Woods on August 23, 1949, in Akron, Ohio.[1][2] As a teenager she worked as a beautician and sang gospel. Richardson got her professional start as a singer in the group Soul Sensations. Richardson joined the Ike & Tina Turner Revue an Ikette in 1968.[1] As an Ikette, Richardson toured the world and appeared on various television shows, including The Hollywood Palace, The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, Soul Train, The Dick Cavett Show, The Midnight Special, Cher, and Don Kirshner's Rock Concert.

In the mid 1970s Richardson pursued a career in film. As an actress she has credited roles in Truck Turner (1974) and Darktown Strutters (1975).[3]

After the dissolution of the Ike & Tina Turner Revue in 1976, Richardson recorded an album as part of the vocal trio Silver, Platinum & Gold. The group consisted of Richardson, Renee King and Flo King, who were also former backing vocalists.[4] They released a self-titled album on Farr Records in late 1976. Richardson co-wrote seven songs on the album. The single "Just Friends" reached No. 63 on the Billboard R&B chart.[4][5] The group toured with Wild Cherry in 1976.[4] They released another album, Hollywood, on Neptune Records in 1981.

Richardson joined Tina Turner during her solo career as a dancer in 1980. By then she began going by the name LeJeune Richardson. Richardson appeared in Turner's music videos "Let's Stay Together" (1983) and "Help!" (1984). She toured with Turner on-and-off until her Foreign Affair World Tour in 1990.

She was married to Kings of Rhythm drummer Soko Richardson.[6]
