Tammi Lynn, born Gloria Brown, was an American soul singer active mainly in the 1960s and 1970s. She is best known for her deep, soulful voice and hit single "I'm Gonna Run Away From You," which reached the UK Top 5 in 1971. Her style was heavily influenced by the southern soul and gospel music of her New Orleans upbringing. Despite the limited commercial success during her active years, Lynn's contributions to soul music, particularly the Northern Soul scene in the UK, have solidified her legacy in music history.
