Diva Gray began her career touring with Harry Belafonte. You may better know Diva as a session singer on the first Chic LP ("Dance, Dance, Dance"), Gregg Diamond's Starscruiser ("This Side Of Midnight", "Danger") and various Kenny Lehman projects including Lemon's "Freak On". Her voice is very distinctive and a great style.
Diva Gray was also one of The Harlettes (backup trio for Bette Midler). Her career lead her to a studio band produced by Luigi Ojival (C.K.B., Silver Shoes, Final Offspring) and is one of my favorite feel good disco projects. "Hotel Paradise" is the title track and the most uplifting for Diva's voice - a bit much like a child's nursery song.
"St. Tropez" is ReStructured here with a whole new feel and breakdown of the song - a funkier flavor and back beat. It being on of the most beautiful sounds of the big disco era - I wanted to keep the track alive.
Diva Gray also had a single produced by Jacques Morali (Village People, The Ritchie Family) in 1981 on Prelude Records - a cover of "Memories" from "Cats" - which is fabulous also.
