George McCrae - The Very Best Of George McCrae '2001

Tracks list

Along with wife Gwen McCrae, Miami, Florida-based artist George McCrae was a
prime mover on the early disco front with his own R&B chart-topper "Rock Your
Baby" in 1974. Born in 1944 in West Palm Beach, he formed his own vocal group in
the early '60s, which eventually included his future wife Gwen. They soon began
working as a duo, and when Gwen found success as a solo act, George became her
manager as well as backing vocalist.
With disco kings Harry Casey and Richard Finch of KC & the Sunshine Band
producing and writing his output on Henry Stone's T.K. label, McCrae found a hit
on his first try with "Rock Your Baby," originally intended as a single for
Gwen. It topped charts around the world, and he rapidly returned with the
double-sided hit "I Can't Leave You Alone"/"I Get Lifted," but fads being
fickle, McCrae's fortunes slipped as the decade progressed. Although he
continued recording during the '80s and '90s, he charted only in England with
1984's "One Step Closer (To Love)." After a long absence from recording and
releasing material, he returned in 2009 with Time for a Change, an album issued
in Germany. Seven years later he released Love, a set that warmly embraced his
soul and disco roots. It was released in the U.S. through eOne.
