Carol Douglas

The girl who found love in a cafe-bar. New York based vocalist sprang to fame in the mid 1970's with early disco hit "Doctor's orders". Follow up, "Midnight love affair" did well in 1976. It's arranged by New York disco specialist John Davis. Further disco albums followed; "Burnin'" included "Fell in love for the first time today" and her version of the Bee Gee's "Night fever", which reached the UK singles charts.

The record "The Carol Douglas Album specially prepared for disco use" (above) is a one-sided pre-12" single containing four tracks, and is very rare (one of the very first promotional disco records).
