Jean Carne started her career as a singer in her husband's jazz fusion band in the early 70s. She also started out without an "e" on the end of her surname and was known as plain ol' Jean Carn until she signed with Motown in the 1980s. Other gigs she had early on were singing on Earth, Wind & Fire's first couple of albums and live work with none other than Duke Ellington (she was the last vocalist to work with him before he died.) Following stints with jazz-funkers Norman Connors and George Duke she was signed to Philadelphia International in 1977, but despite recording three terrific albums for the label she didn't have much success. "Don't Let It Go To Your Head" came from her 1978 album "Happy To Be With You" and is one of those songs that I've known so well for so long I always assumed it was a big hit but apparently it only made #54 on the R&B charts. Why this didn't cause a mad rush to the record stores at the time is beyond me. This is a sublime Gamble & Huff song, beautifully produced and arranged (as always) and Jean's vocal is fabulous, very soulful and with a loose expressiveness that shows off her jazz background.
"Happy To Be With You" is available on a two-fer CD along with her self-titled PIR debut.
