A nice bio can be found at SoulSource and also at SirShambling so no point me regurgitating it but in summary she was born in Alabama and moved to Atlanta in her early teens and recorded her first single aged 14 on Jesse Jones' Tragar label and continued to record for both Tragar and Jones's Note labels. Her first 45 was picked up nationally by Atlantic. In 1972 she formed The Cherry Blend with 2 other members of a choir she was in and they cut one 45 on Note which gained a national release on King. Jesse Jones' label folded in the late 70 and he moved to LA and Eula went with him and they recorded one last record - 2 hideous 80s synth laden dance tracks on 12" in 1984. She has since returned to live performances and appeared in New York and the UK at Prestatyn weekender in 2009.
Before we get into her 'Discography' here's a clip of her performing at Prestatyn in 2009 with one of me favs by her 'Try'.
