York Pennsylvania born and raised, R&B vocalist Carman Bryant has performed
throughout the U.S. and all over the world. There’s a saying in the
Harrisburg/York Pa.area “If you want a seat, you better get there early” for a
performance by Carman and her band.
Carman's recording "Midnight Star” is an
unreleased recording that was produced many years ago by Cecil DuValle
of the Teddy Pendergrass band. The original studio masters were lost
when Cecil moved to England because Teddy Pendergrass stopped performing. "Take a Chance" is a duet by Doug Payne and Carman from the same recording sessions at Alpha International Studios that was located in South Philadelphia. This was during the time that Doug Payne was on the "We are Family" tour with Philly recording group "Sister Sledge''.
