George McCrae
Real Name:- George Warren McCrae, Jr.
Profile:- b. 19th October 1944, West Palm Beach, Florida, U.S.A.
Richard Finch and Harry Wayne Casey of KC & the Sunshine Band invited him to sing the lyrics for a song that they had recorded for the band, but could not reach the high notes that were required for the song. The original intention was that Gwen, his wife, should record it, but she was late for the session and George recorded alone. It suited his high-pitched voice to the extent that the song, "Rock Your Baby", became one of the first hits of the disco era in 1974, selling an estimated eleven million copies worldwide, topping the charts in the U.S. and the UK. The song was so successful that Rolling Stone Magazine voted it the No. 1 song of the year in 1974. McCrae received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Male R&B Vocalist the following year.
Two further singles releases, "I Can't Leave You Alone" and "It's Been So Long" also reached the UK Singles Chart Top 10.
