Lighten up Baby

Ty Karim was a tall elegant West Coast Chartreuse as one critic put it, who never broke into the mainstream market but who is now highly appreciated on the Northern Soul scene thanks to her husband Kent Harris devoting his time to promoting her career after his own music career had ended. Her original vinyls go for thousands but a cd was published in 2008. Will try to get it! Sadly she passed away in 1983 at the height of her career. This must have been an early death as her active years were 60s to 80s. Her daughter Karime moved to the UK and continued to sing the material her mother and father had created on the Northern Soul route. Rest in Peace Ty.
