Lucas,Carrie Dance With Me: The Solar & Constellation Albums CD

Three CD collection. As 'The First Lady Of Solar (Sound Of Los Angeles Records)', California-born Carrie Lucas forged a recording career starting in 1977 that helped establish the Los Angeles-based company formed by her husband, pioneering music industry executive Dick Griffey, into a world-renowned label that launched internationally successful artists such as Shalamar, The Whispers, Klymaxx, Midnight Star, Lakeside, The Deele and Dynasty. With a stellar cadre of top musicians, a growing stable of songwriters and emergent producers, the distinctive sound that became associated with the company was in full effect on the six albums that Carrie recorded between 1977-1984. This first-of-it's-kind collection of Carrie's six albums showcases not only her status as one of the prominent dance music purveyors during a time period when the 'disco' movement was in it's ascendancy but her interpretative skills as a balladeer, and as an accomplished songwriter, penning and collaborating on a number of key tracks. Liner notes by SoulMusic Records and founder David Nathan include commentary by Carrie herself along with a special quote from her daughter Carolyn Griffey (who now tours globally with Shalamar).
