Carol Williams born in Monclair, New Jersey, United States is a disco musician. She was the first female artist signed to the disco label Salsoul Records. She worked with producer Vince Montana, Jr. and the Salsoul Orchestra. Her most notable recording, “More’”, was very popular at a time when disco was just breaking into the mainstream and is widely seen as an early disco classic. More was the first 12 inch commercial single that one could buy in stores all over the world. It peaked at #4 on the Hot Dance Club Play chart in 1976. The success of “‘More” led to the ‘Lectric Lady album, released in 1977 and featuring the hits “Come Back” and the club classic “Love is You”. This was sampled in 1999 by Italian DJ Spiller in an instrumental track called “Groove Jet”, on the “Mighty Miami EP”, and in 2000 in the vocal version of the track, called “Groovejet (If This Ain’t Love)” with vocals performed by Sophie Ellis-Bextor. The track featuring Ellis-Bextor reached number 1 in the UK and AUS Pop charts and sparked renewed demand for the original. Carol’s success at salsoul put her in demand as a major disco act traveling the world performing at all the major disco clubs like Studio 54 and Odyssey 2001 and etc. She did a lot of TV specials like the legendary performance at roseland with the salsoul orchestra which was on television in 1977 promoting an album completion called Salsoul Disco Boogie.
