Tawatha Agee (born November 14, 1954) is an American vocalist and songwriter. Her voice has been described in The New York Times as an "acrobatic, gospel-charged soprano."[1] She was the lead singer of funk and soul band Mtume; her soulful lead vocals are featured on their 1983 R&B hit "Juicy Fruit".[2]
Agee has worked consistently as a backing vocalist from the mid-1970s to the present day, predominantly with James Mtume, who produced her one solo studio album, Welcome to My Dream, for Epic Records in 1987. She is also a part of "the Lovely Ladies" trio, who tour with the Dave Matthews Band.[3]
