Dakota Staton (pronounced STAY-ton) was born in Homewood, Pennsylvania, near Pittsburgh, on June 3 of either 1930 or 1931 (most sources indicate 1930). Her older brother Fred, who became a jazz saxophonist, told Jacki Lyden of National Public Radio that her career started as early as age seven, when "[s]he'd go around in the neighborhood, entertaining the neighbors from time to time."
Dakota Staton was an American jazz vocalist who found international acclaim with the 1957 No. 4 hit "The Late, Late Show". She was also known by the Muslim name Aliyah Rabia for a period due to her conversion to Islam as interpreted by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community.
Dakota Staton's deep, husky voice and dynamic, swinging delivery made an immediate impact on the jazz community when she arrived in New York in the mid 1950s. While her initially rising star never provided her with the fame her talent deserved, she continued to record and perform to the delight of audiences in the U.S. and Europe until her death in 2007.
