Atlantic Starr History
Atlantic Starr were a 1980s R&B band. Among their hits were "Always" and "Secret
Lovers".
The group was started in 1976 in White Plains, New York by Duke Jones, drummer
Porter Carroll Jr., bassist Clifford Archer, percussionist and flautist Joseph
Phillips, and three brothers: David Lewis (vocals and guitar), Wayne Lewis
(keyboards and vocals), and Johnathan Lewis (percussion and trombone). Other
members of the band were lead singer Sharon Bryant (who was later replaced by
Barbara Weathers), trumpeter William Sudderth, and saxophonist Damon Rentie (who
was replaced by Koran Daniels). In 1977 the band came to Westwood, California
and performed on the nightclub scene under the name "Newban" which was changed
on their debut hit single.
Throughout the late 70's and early 80's, Atlantic Starr scored several hits on
the R&B charts. However, significant crossover success (onto the pop charts)
didn't come until halfway into the 80's, with the release of their As The Band
Turns album, and the single "Secret Lovers." By this time, the band had pared
itself down to a quintet, consisting of the three Lewis brothers, Phillips, and
Weathers. In 1987, the band solidified their pop success by scoring a #1 pop hit
with "Always," a slow jam off their album All In The Name Of Love. Following
this success, Weathers left for a solo career, and she was replaced by Porscha
Martin for the band's next album, 1988's We're Movin' Up. The band would
continue to score hits on both the R&B and Pop charts into the early 90's. Their
biggest hit of '90s was the Billboard #3 hit "Masterpiece" in 1992.
