Along with wife Gwen McCrae, Miami-based artist George McCrae was a prime mover on the early disco front with his own RB chart-topper "Rock Your Baby" in 1974. With disco kings Harry Casey and Richard Finch of KC 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.
