Tina Charles

UK disco singer best known for her 1976 #1 solo hits I Love To Love and Dance Little Lady Dance (b. 10.03.1954, Whitechapel, London).

Recorded a number of singles in 1969 backed by then unknown Elton John. In the very early 70's she was in the female pop trio [a=Wild Honey (11)] as well as recorded a large number of anonymous lead vocals for the Top Of The Pops (3) series. Her breakthrough came with Airbus / 5000 Volts and the 1975 disco hit I'm On Fire followed shortly after by her solo successes.
Her session work also includes backing Elton John and Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel, a.o. on the hit Make Me Smile (Come Up And See Me).
Her chosen stage name of Charles was a tribute to her father, Charles Hoskins.
