Atlantic Starr - Brilliance.
By the time A&M Records released the group’s fourth album BRILLIANCE in March 1982, Atlantic Starr were riding the
crest of a wave of success that began with their 1981 LP, “Radiant” (produced by James Carmichael,
known for his work with The Commodores and Lionel Richie) which contained the nine-member band’s first Top 5 R&B hit,
‘When Love Calls.’
Formed originally in 1976 in White Plains, New York with
brothers Jonathan, David and Wayne Lewis as the core
creative team and founding members alongside singer Sharon
Bryant, bassist Clifford Archer, drummer (and backing
vocalist) Porter Carroll Jr, trumpeter William Sudderth III,
saxophonist/flautist, Damon M. Rentie and percussionist Joey
Phillips, Atlantic Starr’s move to Los Angeles in 1978 proved
to be the turning point when they were signed to A&M
Records after a live audition with label co-founder Herb
Alpert.
Building their credibility as a solid R&B/funk band through
their first three albums, BRILLIANCE became the group’s first
gold album, a No. 1 R&B chart topper and Top 20 pop LP. The
set featured three charted hit singles, most notably the nowclassic
‘Circles’ (US #2 R&B, #38 pop) and ‘Love Me Down’
(US #14 R&B). Other standout cuts included the soulful Sam
Dees-penned ‘Your Love Finally Ran Out,’ and the funky cuts
‘Sexy Dancer’ and ‘Love Moves.’
