Carrie Lucas, born on October 1, 1945, in Carmel, California, is an American singer known for her contributions to soul music. Her career began with the release of "I Gotta Keep Dancing" and "Gotta Get Away from Your Love", both singles from her debut album Simply Carrie (1977). The former peaked at number 64 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Lucas' second album, Street Corner Symphony (1978), featured backing vocals by The Whispers. Her third album, Carrie Lucas in Danceland (1979), included the hit "Dance with You", with the album charting at number 37 on the U.S Dance Album chart and number 40 on the UK Singles Chart. Notable singles from her subsequent albums include “Keep Smilin’” (1979), “It’s Not What You Got (It’s How You Use It)” (1982), “Career Girl” (1982), and a cover of Barbara Lewis’ “Hello Stranger” (1985). which reached number 20 on the US Billboard R&B chart. Lucas retired from the music industry in the late 1980s to focus on her personal life but returned with the single "Some Things Never Change" in 2018.
