Jean DuShon (born Anna Jean Harris, later Atwell, August 16, 1935 – July 19, 2019) was an African American jazz and R&B singer, and stage actor. She was best known for her recordings in the 1960s, including the first released recording of the song "For Once in My Life" in 1966, although many had not heard her version, and assumed the original recording was by Stevie Wonder.[1]
