She wrote hits for herself and other artists in the 60s then relocated to the UK where she would record with the Beatles, Pink Floyd, Nick Drake, etc. Stretchin' Out is her last album and it not only has numerous soul gems (clip 1) but also enabled her to empower  the reggae and rocksteady vibes (clip 2), that already simmer in her biggest hit from the 60s.
