Lauren Hollister

Hi Deborah,
I was 16 in 1970 and attended Nyack High School in Nyack, New York in Rockland County. Sorry I didn't respond sooner, but just happened to find your comment a year later while surfing the internet.

Lauren

Did you attend school in Westchester County, New York in 1970?

I am the real Lauren Hollister. I wrote the music and lyrics for Take me In. This record was arranged by Greg Adams of The Tower of Power in 1983 and many of the members of the group recorded the tracks on the single. Listen to the horn section. I believe Holden Raphael passed away a few years ago in a motorcycle accident ,not sure. , The Tower of Power was managed by Wally Roker out of California in the 80's. He was also my manager. I am now 54 years old and I have no idea if Wally is still alive. I currently reside in Weaverville a small town outside of Asheville NC. This record was produced and on the reccommended list of Billboard magazines hot 100 in the disco music dept. in 1983. It played in most of the US clubs. Obviously I thought it was a great dance tune. There was no photo of me on the cover. I'm sure people would have enjoyed a picture of me, but alas the record was promoted without. Any,other questions,just email me. Hope that helps a wee bit. Lauren
