Lorez Alexandria's "I'm Wishin" was the first 7"single released on the Pzazz label back in 1968, and later appeared on the album Didn't We. With a moody West Coast jazz vibe, and featurinf saxophonist Teddy Edwards, the album was produced by label-owner Paul Gayten. Gayten started out as as a New Orleans pianist, became an 1+R man for Chess Records, and later ran the Pzazz label under the motto "Put Some Pzazz in Your Jazz!"


During her long career the Chicago-born Alexandria cut albums for labels like King, Argo, Impulse, Discovery, and Muse before she passed-away in 2001.
