Melody of Life Expanded edition

Digitally re-mastered and expanded edition of this 1979 album from the Soul/R&B/Disco vocalist. Gwen McCrae is known best for her 1975 R&B #1 "Rockin' Chair". Having married George "Rock Your Baby" McCrae after a whirlwind romance in 1963 the couple became a vocal duo, George & Gwen, and were discovered by influential singer/producer Betty Wright in the late 60's while performing extensively throughout South Florida. Betty Wright was able to help them get a recording deal at Henry Stone's Alston imprint which led to a move to Columbia Records before going back to a different Henry Stone imprint, Cat. a succession of singles were released during this period with modest success until she hit the R&B #1 spot with the aforementioned 'Rockin' Chair' in 1975 and followed it up with her debut LP of the same name. Gwen recorded several more albums for the Cat imprint with reasonable R&B chart success before teaming up again with Betty Wright who produced her final LP for the label, Melody of Life.
