Pattie Brooks
Pattie Brooks is an American singer most frequently associated with the disco era. She was born in Fort Riley, Kansas to a military family. Her first break came in 1968 when she auditioned for the chorus on ''The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour''. In the next decade she became a sought-after backing singer, appearing on the Bobby Darin Show and touring with, among others Helen Reddy. She sang backing on Donna Summer's ''I Remember Yesterday'' album.
== Casablanca Records career ==
In the mid-1970s Brooks came to the attention of disco producer Simon Soussain and her solo recording career was born. Her first of four albums on the Casablanca label was 1977's ''Love Shook'' (credited as ''Pattie Brooks & The Simon Orchestra''), the album peaked at #2 on the US Dance Chart. Brooks remained with Soussain and in 1978 recorded her biggest club hit, "After Dark". This was selected to be part of the soundtrack to the film ''Thank God It's Friday'' and as the soundtrack topped the club play charts (#-1 for six weeks), Brooks's contribution was up there with friend and stablemate Donna Summer's "Last Dance" as the most celebrated tracks. "After Dark" was the mainstay of Brooks's second album ''Our Ms. Brooks''. The album also included the hit "This Is The House Where Love Died" and reached #-22 on the US Dance Charts. In 1979 Brooks moved away from Soussain as her third album ''Party Girl'' was produced by Bunny Sigler of Instant Funk and Salsoul fame. The result was a far more varied album that encompassed funk, pop, disco and ballads. While the album contained no major hits it did include "Got Tu Go Disco", the title song from the short lived Broadway musical. The 12" single peaked at #-67 on the US Dance Charts.〔 In 1979 Brooks branched out from disco by singing "Close Enough For Love", the title song to the Vanessa Redgrave movie ''Agatha''. By 1980 the disco backlash had taken effect in the USA, and Brooks's fourth and last Casablanca offering ''Pattie Brooks'' was very much a pop-soul affair, produced this time by Michael Smith. No hits were forthcoming and Brooks left Casablanca.
