Dakota Staton

I think the "real name" entry seems a little misleading. Her birth name was Dakota Staton. In 1958, she married trumpeter Talib Ahmad Dawud (a/k/a Al Barrymore), and converted to a version of Islam. During that marriage she only occasionally used the name Aliyah Rabia, and never after she and Dawud divorced (late 1960s).
