Donna McGhee has been a professional singer since 1974, Donna's first singing group she joined after singing gospel all of her life, was called "THE FATBACK BAND". Their first album was called Rasing hell, and the hit single off of that LP, was called "BUS STOP". Donna sang with Fatback for over three years, touring with such groups as "Chaka khan", "Frankie Beverly and Maze". "Crown Heights Affair", and "Tedddy Pendergrass". They traveled all over the world. After completing several albums with them, the last LP they recorded with the late great "Phyllis Hyman". In 1977, Donna signed with a company called Red Greg Records, and she worked with the great Producer Patrick Adams. They recorded several hit records at that time. UNIVERSAL ROBOT BAND was created along with BUMBLEE UNLIMITED, which lead to several hits such as, DANCE AND SHAKE YOUR TAMBORINE, and LOVE BUG. Most of the songs recorded were disco hits, and were played at"The Gargage", and Studio 54. While recording with differendt groups, the company signed Donna with an Exclusive Recording contract, and my first solo albumn was created. It was called "MAKE IT LAST FOREVER", traveling from one side of the country to the other, the hit single "It ain't no big thing" was making a huge buzz for Donna McGhee. While the album was being played all over the country, such as Japan, England, France, and other countries and States, In, New York, "The Gargage", "Studio 54", and other great clubs, were jaming the album. Love Bug was up for a Grammy Award, and I was fortunate enough to do the Dick Clark New Years Eve show twice. After Donna's contract was up, Donna signed under Obago Records, where "YOU SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME", written by Phillip Thomas from CROWN HEIGHTS AFFAIRS .. Personal thanks to JellyBean Benitiz, for a great re-mix, and Donna's guitarist George Victory, for their performance, on a great song.
