Claudine Clark was the one-hit wonder responsible for the 1962 smash "Party Lights," and she was more responsible for it than most other female singers would have been: she also wrote the music and lyrics herself. Born in Macon, GA, Clark grew up in Philadelphia and received formal musical training at the local Coombs College. She recorded her first single, "Angel of Happiness," in 1958 for the Herald label, but it failed to attract much attention, as did a brief stint at Gotham. Clark subsequently caught on with Chancellor, a label best known for teen idols like Fabian and Frankie Avalon. Her first single, "Disappointed," initially flopped, but when DJs started playing the Clark-penned flip side, "Party Lights," it became a huge hit. Sung from the point of view of a teenage girl ordered to her room while her friends were out having a good time, "Party Lights" struck a chord and shot into the Top Five on both the pop and R&B charts. Bizarrely, Chancellor followed it with the morbid "Walkin' Through a Cemetery," which stalled Clark's commercial momentum; by the time "Walk Me Home From the Party" appeared to continue the story line, the moment had passed, and neither it nor "The Telephone Game" could recapture the public's attention. Clark later attempted to compose a rock & roll operetta, and also recorded for Swan under the alias Joy Dawn, all to little avail. ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide. + Informações

26 April 1941, Macon, Georgia, USA. After earning a degree in music composition at Coombs College, in her home town of Philadelphia, Clark recorded her first single Angel Of Happiness, backed by the Detroit Spinners, for Herald Records in 1958. She also recorded unsuccessfully for Gotham Records before joining the hit Philadelphia label Chancellor in 1962. Disappointed was her first single but, as often happens, it was the b-side, her own composition, Party Lights, that became a hit for the pop/R&B vocalist with the childlike quality in her voice. Clarks later recordings, including a sequel record, Walk Me Home From The Party, failed to interest record buyers. She later recorded on Swan as Joy Dawn but had no further notable success.. + Informações

In 1962, Claudine Clark had a nationwide smash hit with the song "Party Lights", which she had written herself. Later, the same year, she recorded the song "Walkin' through a Cemetery", which was quickly released in an (unsuccessful) attempt to repeat the success of the previous song. Although Ms. Clark continued to actively work as a singer in the music industry, very few people today remember any of her recordings, other than "Party Lights".

Very interesting and different cover version of this song made famous by girl singer Claudine Clark. This cover version is a stereo vinyl track from the OOP 1976 RCA LP "Fast Annie". Like many other underrated singers, Annie has a rich history: as a songwriter she has had compositions done by Dolly Parton, Mick Fleetwood and has also worked closely as a singer with Stevie Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham & Walter Egan. I've only touched on some aspects of her accomplishments, as she is still currently singing and involved in other areas of music as well - check out these websites for more current updates (as well as older history) on this talented woman: fastannie.net mclooneytunes.com fleetwoodmac.net buckinghamnicks.net. + Informações
