Claudette is one amazing woman with so many music hits to her name. However, many have little or no idea about the star. Here is some information about the icon that might get many intrigued.

The duo tied the knot in 1957 and enjoyed marital bliss before calling it quits in 1986. Their divorce was accompanied by a lot of unresolved issues, including termination rights under the 1976 Copyright Act.

Smokey was in the process of reclaiming rights to his work when Claudette claimed she deserved a fifty percent share of what he recovered. The reason being that she put her singing career on hold to look after the kids.

The former lovebirds settled their disputes and have been living well since then. In 2019, the producer released a children's book titled "Claudette's Miraculous Motown Adventure." The book tells the tale of how she became the First Lady of Motown.
