About

American house music singer/songwriter, producer, and artist.

Born: 25 May 1949 in Detroit, Michigan, USA.
Died: 24 November 2016 in New York City, New York, USA (aged 67).

Raised in New York, Abrams was one of the first artists to bring house music into the mainstream notably with the Music Is The Answer in 1984. This began a string of dance hits that capitalized on the electronic sounds that were popular in the mid-1980s. He continued to chart on the Dance and R&B charts into the mid-1990s and released music sporadically through the early part of the 2000s. He formed his own short-lived label Colonel Records in 1996.

In 2019, The New York Times Magazine listed Colonel Abrams among hundreds of artists whose material was reportedly destroyed in Colonel Records's 2008 back catalog fire.
