Jean Knight, a New Orleans-born soul singer known for her 1971 hit “Mr. Big Stuff,” has died at 80.
Born as Jean Caliste in 1943, Knight embarked on her musical journey in 1965 with the release of her debut song, a cover of Jackie Wilson's "Stop Doggin' Me Around." Her breakthrough came in 1971 with the release of "Mr. Big Stuff," which led to a record deal with Stax Records. "'Mr. Big Stuff,' renowned for its infectious refrain, 'Who do you think you are?,' was not just a chart-topping anthem; it was the result of soulful, syncopated melodies that resonated through the Crescent City," her family expressed in tribute to her legacy.
