Sterling Harrison

Born in Richmond, Virginia, Sterling's early career was on the club circuit, which eventually took him to Los Angeles in 1977. He performed in the L.A. area throughout the 1980's and 1990's and recorded sides for various labels, including Vim, Smash, 4V, Astroscope, and Motown.

His first LP, a self titled album cut for the Atlantic subsidiary, Real World Records, and was released in 1980. "'One More Time For Love" became popular amongst R&B fans both sides of the Atlantic, and, as with some songs on the album, was paenned by the Holland / Dozier/ Holland team.

The following year, Sterling released an album entitled "One Size Fits All". Few copies were pressed, and he album soon became highly sought after, especially for the Soul stepper 'You Got That Thing' (a song which was later to appear on a compilation album entitled "Blessed Blackness" in them late Nineties).

In 1999, he released the album "Two Way Love Affair", which was followed in 2004 by "I'm Just Getting Started".

Tragically, after completing the album "South Of The Snooty Fox", Sterling was diagnosed with cancer, and passed away on the 21st of August 2005. The album was posthumously released in 2007.
