  <bio>Along with wife Gwen McCrae, Miami-based artist George McCrae was a prime mover on the early disco front with his own R&amp;B chart-topper "Rock Your Baby" in 1974. With disco kings Harry Casey and Richard Finch of KC &amp; the Sunshine Band producing and writing his output on Henry Stone's T.K. label, McCrae rapidly returned with the double-sided hit "I Can't Leave You Alone"/"I Get Lifted," but fads being fickle, McCrae's fortunes slipped as the decade ensured. ~ Bill Dahl, All Music Guide</bio>
