Andrews got her start as a member of The Caravans in the 1950s and early 60s. She also wrote songs that many artists recorded. It was the Caravans’ Inez Andrews-led version of the old spiritual “Mary Don’t You Weep,”that is considered one of the most memorable gospel performances of the era. Andrews was also known for her signature song, “Lord Don’t Move That Mountain.”

According to the Chicago Tribune, Andrews described the legacy she wanted to leave behind. “I’d like to be remembered as a person who lived the life they sang about,” Andrews said in the Tribune interview. “And I would hope that my conduct in life would be such that someone would want to see me again on the other side.”
