Carter wrote songs for Judy Collins ("Cook with Honey" from Collins' 1973 album True Stories and Other Dreams), Jackson Browne ("Love Needs a Heart" from his 1977 album Running on Empty), The Brothers Johnson ("Deceiver", the B-side of "You Keep Me Coming Back") and Earth, Wind & Fire ("Turn It into Something Good", from the 1980 album Faces).
She released four solo studio albums, a live album and a compilation album.
In August and October 2009, Carter was arrested in St. Petersburg, Florida for possession of drugs.
She successfully completed all of the court's requirements and she became a graduate of Judge Dee Anna Farnell's "drug court" program on May 25, 2011.
Her sometime employer, American singer-songwriter James Taylor, appeared at her "drug court" graduation ceremonies in a congratulatory effort on behalf of all of the graduates.
Carter died on March 4, 2017, at the age of 64. (Wiki)
This one is for pmac - Years ago I could only get a cassette version of this lovely album. It was a USA import and I couldn't find it anywhere...Come the CD era I had to order it from the States...and here it is. Don't know if it was ever issued in the UK ?
It was her first solo release and I've turned on many friends to this by playing them 'Ooh Child' etc
Sadly she passed away on 4 March 2017 of a heart attack. Love Gus x

She is one of my favorite "unknown" singers. I have this somewhere but I greatly appreciate your posting it, Gus, so I don't have to search for it and can enjoy it anew. I know I also have "Wild Child" somewhere in my files but they are in need of radical reorganization. Hope all is well on the other side of the pond and it's great to see posts here again.
Gus, the info you posted plus Feilimid's comment got me curious. I'm gonna lend the girl an ear. May she rest in peace.
Did not know she had died. Had this on vinyl, when it was first released. Thanks, Gus!
@GuitarGus: It's 1st time I come on your blog and I was curious to discover this artist I never heard before, but unfortunately link zippy is no more active. Is it possible to re-up it ?
Guitar Gus,any chance for a repost?Thanks.
