Biography
After a few years as an actress Douglas decided to concentrate on her music career and in the early 1970s she landed the role of lead singer for the reformed soul group The Chantels. She toured the U.S. with the group for a while before receiving a record contract with Midland International Records in 1974 as a solo act. The first single released under the label, “Doctor’s Orders”, became a hit, reaching #2 on Billboard magazine’s Disco chart, #9 R&B and #11 on the Billboard Hot 100. The follow up single “A Hurricane Is Coming Tonite” became a minor hit, reaching #81 on Billboard’s Hot 100. In 1976 she hit #1 on the disco chart with “Midnight Love Affair” / “Crime Don’t Pay”, both from her second album Midnight Love Affair. The single also reached the #96 spot on Cash Box magazine’s top 100 chart. The following year she recorded the track “You Make Me Feel the Music” for the soundtrack to the 1977 motion picture The Haunted.
Although not internationally famous, in 1978 she release a cover version of the Bee Gees #1 hit, “Night Fever”, which became a minor hit for her in the UK Singles Chart, reaching #66.

As a former bass player for Carol Douglas, I must say that she is the most professional and talented person I have ever met. And in this business, you meet a lot of people. The most memorable place we played was at the Felt Forum (now known as WA MU theater, next to Madison Square Garden, New York City). The crowd simply loved her and her performance. I have to say being part of music history where Ms. Douglas was (and "is") the queen of disco was an honor to help her reach that goal. Of course, music is art form where there is no limit to creating music. She has that ability to go to other genres and be successful at it. Carol, keep up the good work.
