Alfa Anderson, Luci Martin, and Norma Jean Wright first came to national attention as the original lead vocalists of the powerhouse multi platinum recording group Chic. They collectively earned gold and platinum albums as the signature voices on smash hits such as Le Freak (Freak out), Everybody Dance, Good Times, Dance Dance Dance, and others. Highly acclaimed for their vocal style they quickly became sought after session singers and loaned their voices to productions for luminaries like Madonna, Luther Vandross, Aretha Franklin, Diana Ross, Michael Jackson, and The Rolling Stones.
Today Alfa, Luci, and Norma Jean continue to perform these classic hits throughout the world, from Italy, to Asia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Germany, Russia, France and England. Their sound takes you back to the era of Studio 54 when dancing was a way of life or it simply reminds you that "good music like good times" should last forever.

The Chantress
Most are unaware that Norma Jean Wright was a background singer on many other important and groundbreaking albums of the 1970s and 1980s outside of Chic. She sang on Sister Sledge's 1979 multi-platinum disco album "We Are Family", which included famous songs like "He's the Greatest Dancer", "Thinking of You", and "We Are Family".
Norma Jean Wright was born in Ripley Tennessee, not far from the city limits of "Nut Bush", which is, where Tina Turner was born. As a mater of fact Norma's father attended the same church as Tina, and by the time Norma was old enough to attend elementary school, her dad moved the family to Elyria, Ohio.
