Vicki Lawrence
Vicki Lawrence, who's best remembered for her long running stint as Carol Burnett's sidekick on the Carol Burnett Show, and for her own series Mama's Family recorded a disco album in 1979. Imagine my surprise when I found this out while visiting on a site dedicated to her with this passage:
Not one to be discouraged, Vicki tried her hand at disco in 1979 with her third LP Newborn Woman. The album was issued on Windmill Records and produced by Al Capps who had previously produced Vicki as well as write "Mama's Gonna Make It All Better" in 1974. Unfortunately for fans of Vicki, the LP did not get much promotion since it was issued about a year after The Carol Burnett Show ended. I feel the effort was a valid one. The sessions produced a very good album that should have been pushed harder to the radio stations and dance clubs. I had no idea Vicki had even released an LP back in 1979, or I would have gone out of my way to find it! The good news is that the LP appears on ebay from time to time for those looking for it. I did see Vicki perform the song "Your Lies" from the Newborn Woman album on a TV show.
