Rockin' Chair...Gwen McCrae.

We now have two Singers that I have not heard of !...Courtesy of Luc.in Belguim.. The one in the post below are tracks in the "Disco" Mood...And this one !!...well read on folks !!
Gwendolyn Patricia McCrae (née Mosley, December 21, 1943 – February 21, 2025) was an American singer. She is best known for her 1975 hit "Rockin' Chair", which reached number one on the Billboard Hot R&B chart and number nine on the Billboard Hot 100. Known across Europe as the "Queen of Rare Groove", McCrae's gospel, soul, disco, and funk vocals have been heavily sampled in dance music, including songs by Cassius, Madlib, Lady Gaga, Avicii, and Mobb Deep.

Rockin' Chair is a hit 1975 song by singer Gwen McCrae. The song is not to be confused with either Fats Domino's 1951 R&B hit of the same name or the 1929 "Rockin' Chair" by Hoagy Carmichael.
Gwen's husband, George McCrae, had a number-one hit single the year earlier, "Rock Your Baby." "Rockin' Chair" was intended to be an answer song to George's hit. The songs were released just less than a year apart. George provided backing vocals on the song.
"Rockin' Chair" was McCrae's sole entry into the US top 10 on both the pop and soul charts. The single hit number nine on the US pop charts, and hit number one on the US soul chart for one week. In Canada, "Rockin' Chair" spent two weeks at number 23.

The Carol Douglas Album..

Carol Douglas (born April 7, 1948) is an American singer whose hit "Doctor's Orders" (1974) was a pioneering track in the disco genre.
In 1974, Douglas was recruited by Midland International Records via an ad in Showbiz magazine: label vice president/record producer Eddie O'Loughlin had heard the UK hit single "Doctor's Orders" by Sunny and was seeking a female vocalist to cut the track for the U.S. market. Douglas's audition led to a five-year contract and her version of "Doctor's Orders" became a hit, reaching No. 2 on the Billboard disco chart, No. 9 R&B, and No. 11 on the Hot 100; the single also reached No. 4 in France.

I don't think that Carol's version of Doctors Orders was released in England..There is no mention in "Wikipedia" of it being released In England !
