At an early age, Fontella showed great musical talent. Her mother was a gospel singer and her younger brother became an R & B artist.
At the age of five, she provided the piano accompaniment for her grandmother’s singing at funeral services, she sang in her church’s choir at six, and by the time she was nine, she had accompanied her mother on tours throughout America.
At 16, Bass was the house pianist at the St. Louis nightspot the Showbar.
Although she released several singles, including the little known “Poor Little Fool”, a duet with Tina Turner, “Rescue Me” was her biggest hit.

Take me in your arms
Rescue me
I want your tender charm
‘Cause I’m lonely
And I’m blue
I need you
And your love too

‘Cause I need you by my side
Can’t you see that I’m lonely
Come on and take my heart
Take your love and conquer every part
