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.\r
\r
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.

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 num
