Karen Lawrence is an American singer and songwriter, who has worked with the L.A. Jets, 1994, Karen Lawrence and the Pinz and Blue by Nature. She sang backup vocals on "Get It Up" from Draw the Line by Aerosmith and also sang on a Jeff Beck album.
A stage performer continually since the age of nine, she fronted her first band, a blues outfit, at the age of 13. As front woman for the A&M band 1994: (produced by Jack Douglas), Lawrence's distinctive and emotive vocal stylings frequently put her on international critics’ "Best Female Singer" lists.
1994: was much better than some people think, and Karen Lawrence is just a fantastic singer. I've followed her since she was in the group the L.A. Jets. I also hope that they'll release their second and last album "Please Stand By" from 1979.
It's a great album too, but this debut from 1978 is absolutely amazing, and I do remember several of the songs getting a lot of airplay, but 1994 never could make it big like some groups. It's a shame, because they had outstanding musicians, wonderful songs, and Karen Lawrence can really belt them out with the best of them.
She's been one of my favorite female vocalists ever since I first heard her from her L.A. Jets days. For those who are fans of Karen.
