In the late 1970’s and 1980’s she teamed up with Greg James performing everything from Big Band music in tight 3 part harmonies, standards, and top 40. She toured the East coast of the United States with the 10 piece Motown Show Band; “The Legendary Black and Blue Band” in the early to mid 1980’s. She returned home to Charlotte and worked with Rodney Shelton in a band that won a national battle of the bands for the Southeast region in 1984. Budweiser flew the band to L.A., and she performed at the Hollywood Palace. In 1988 she entered a national singing contest and won 1st prize, which was a recording session with Luis Martinez of Pantera Records (Expose’, Pet Shop Boys, etc).in Miami.
