Cathy Yarbrough and Calvin Peoples met in Los Angeles in the late 1960s. They started working together as a duo, with Cathy handling vocals and Calvin writing songs. Their debut album came out in 1976, and its title track "Don't Stop The Music" became a hit that got radio play for years. Another song people remember is "Don't Waste Your Time."
They put out a few more albums after that, like Let's Go Round Again in 1977 and From the Heart in 1980. Their music had a soul and R&B feel that worked on dance floors but also in quieter moments.
For a while there, you'd hear their songs on the radio fairly often. They kept recording into the early 1980s with albums like Two of Us. The partnership had its ups and downs, but those early records are what most people still know them for.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
