SUGAR PIE DESANTO was born Umpeylia Marsema Balinton in New York in 1935, although she lived most of her life in California.

She signed her first solo contract with Robert Geddins’ Veltone label in 1960 where she scored with her first waxing “I Want To Know”, recorded with her husband Pee Wee Kingsley, a No.4 Billboard R&B Hit. Featured here is her follow-up Veltone single “Going Back Where I Belong”, a none hit that has grown in popularity on the UK Northern Soul and European R&B scene. The B-side, the aptly named “A Little Taste Of Soul”, came a couple of years later, in 1962, on the Gedinson logo, part of Geddins’ Oakland based stable. Another track that is currently proving popular on the European R&B circuit.

In late ’62 DeSanto signed to Chess Records as an artist and staff writer. She is perhaps best known to Soul fans for her 1966 Chess subsidiary Checker 45 “Go Go Power”, a commercial failure at the time. She is also widely known for her duets with label mate Etta James, the pair were childhood friends and similar in stature with Sugar coming in at a diminutive 4’ 11”. Despite the mite of Chess at the time and its strangle hold on Chicago Blues and R&B DeSanto had little real success and moved back to the West Coast in the late sixties.
