Dee Dee also met U. of I. grad student and trumpeter Cecil Bridgewater on that tour; the two of them had married and lived in New York by the time she was 20. "Dee Dee already was a terrific singer-she sounded a lot like Nancy Wilson, who was one of her idols," remembers Cecil Bridgewater. Perhaps it was inevitable, though, that a young singer who was earning comparisons to Vaughan and Wilson would hit an artistic dead end playing "the wife, just tagging along" with her husband on tour (even if she had begun making a name for herself with the Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Orchestra). The Bridgewaters separated not long after their daughter, Tulani, was born in 1972, and Dee Dee's career took off like a rocket.
