Carrie Lucas - Dance With You 3-cd The Solar & Constellation Albums.

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.

Carrie’s success as a chartmaker began when husband Griffey and Don Cornelius, the renowned creator
and host of the popular US television series, ‘Soul Train’, started Soul Train Records in 1977: her first
single, ‘I Gotta Keep Dancin’’ became a US R&B, pop and dance hit and paved the way for a further six
charted singles including ‘Dance With You’, also a UK Top 40 entry; 1982’s ‘Show Me Where You’re
Coming From’, and her 1984 revival of the Barbara Lewis classic, ‘Hello Stranger’, featuring labelmates
The Whispers, with whom Carrie toured alongside other Solar artists in the late ‘70s and early
‘80s. Producers including Leon Sylvers III, members of The Whispers and Lakeside, Klymaxx’ Fenderella
and Dick Griffey himself contributed to the 47 tracks featured here (including the almost-eight minute
long 12” version of 1980’s ‘Keep Smiling’).

This first-of-its-kind 3-CD collection of Carrie’s six albums showcases not only her status as one of the
prominent dance music purveyors (via tracks such as ‘Career Girl’, ‘Fashion’ and ‘It’s Not What You Got
(It’s How You Use It)’ during a time period when the ‘disco’ movement was in its ascendancy but her
interpretative skills as a balladeer on songs such as ‘Tender’, ‘Still In Love’, ‘Lovin’ Is On My Mind’, ‘I’ll
Close The Door’ and ‘Just A Memory’, and as an accomplished songwriter, penning and collaborating on
a number of key tracks including ‘Simpler Days’, ‘What’s The Question’ and ‘Reflections’.

Liner notes by SoulMusic Records and SoulMusiccom founder David Nathan include commentary by
Carrie herself along with a special quote from her daughter Carolyn Griffey (who now tours globally
with Shalamar); first class mastering by Nick Robbins; and stellar artwork from Roger Williams.


This 2018 reissue is particularly timely given the release of Carrie’s first new recording in many years
on the UK-relaunched Solar label.
