  Donna Jean Godchaux - Biography - AOL Music
While not a founding member, nor was she with the band for too long, a female voice belting out "Dancin' in the Streets," or any Dead tune for that matter, was an oddity in itself after almost a decade of all-male singing.
Godchaux started out as a session singer in Muscle Shoals, AL, then moved on to Memphis and Nashville and then finally to the West Coast.
She worked with a group of backup singers (Jeannie Green and Ginger and Mary Holladay) who called themselves Southern Comfort and is credited as Donna Thatcher on Cher's 1969 release 3614 Jackson Highway, as well as on Elvis Presley's From Elvis in Memphis and Elvis Back in Memphis albums, among others.

Donna: It's rock 'n' roll, and it's saying things that I feel very deeply inside me, and as far as I'm concerned, if you do anything else, you're not being true to who you are.
Donna: So I said, "Jerry, now -- " Gosh, if I had known that everybody does this to him, I would have never had the nerve -- and I said, "Uh, Keith is -- I just know he's your new piano player." At that time, I had no idea that Pigpen was sick.
Donna: Jerry asked me would I sing in the band at that time, and I said -- I don't know if I told him the reason or not, but I know that the reason I had was I wanted Keith to get to do it before I did.
