After singing in various school functions, local groups, and Pepe
Callahan's Mexican-Irish band, Carr began her
professional musical career in earnest in the early '60s. Her solo debut was in
Reno, supported by the Chuck
Leonard Quartet, which led to a record contract with Liberty. While not
gathering much attention in the U.S., her first single ("He's a Rebel") was a
hit in Australia and led to numerous television appearances, and a spell as a
regular on The Ray Anthony Show. In the late '60s, Carr scored
three Top 40 hits, including the number three "It Must Be Him." Her American
sales dwindled in the beginning of the '70s. |
With the release of her 1980 album,
Vikki Carr y el Amor, Carr gained
enormous success in the Latin music world. In 1991, Carr won a
Best Latin Pop Album Grammy for her Cosas del Amor. Reta Manda y Provoca followed in 1998, and the
next year saw the release of Memories Memorias. Stephen Thomas
