An expressive and versatile vocalist, Carl Anderson worked in theatrical productions
and recorded soul, pop, rock, and fusion dates. He was born in Lynchburg
VA, and moved to Washington in 1969. Anderson sang with the rock band Second
Eagle before relocating to Los Angeles in the early '70s and joining Motown in 1971.
While working with Stevie Wonder on some songs that were never issued,
Anderson began acting. He was in both the film and stage productions of Jesus Christ
Superstar during the early and mid-'70s, and also made appearances in several L.A. clubs.
CBS talent scout Larkin Arnold signed Anderson to his label in 1980, and Richard Rudolph
produced his Columbia debut, Absence Without Love, in 1982.
It didn't attract much attention, but the second LP, On & On, included the single "Magic"
and duet "It's The Love" with Vanesse Thomas, which did well internationally.
Both albums suffered from less than stellar material and a mish-mash of styles.
However, Anderson made up for them on 1985's Protocol, working with
Earth Wind and Fire alum Al McKay on a wonderful album that began his transition to a true
urban adult contemporary sound and featuring his best song to date, "Can't Stop
this Feeling."

On February 23, 2004, Carl Anderson died after a long battle with leukemia.
