Norma Jean Wright and Luci Martin first came to international attention as the lead vocalists of the powerhouse multi-platinum-recording group Chic. Collectively they have earned gold and platinum albums for smash hits “Dance, Dance, Danceâ€(Yowsah, Yowsah, Yowsah), “Everybody Danceâ€, “Good Timesâ€, “Le Freakâ€, and others. Highly acclaimed for their vocal style, they quickly became sought after session singers and loaned their voices to productions for luminaries such as Madonna, Luther Vandross, Aretha Franklin, Diana Ross, Michael Jackson, The Rolling Stones and others.Upfront singing lead Norma and Luci supported Chic’s bright airy panorama of sound. This distinct sound incorporated layers of lush vocals that supported the funky and infectious rhythm provided by Nile Rodgers’ subtly modulating guitar licks, Bernard Edwards’ ferocious loping bass lines and Tony Thompson’s four-on-the-floor bass drum and percolating hi hats. All of these components propelled the group to the top of the charts.When Ohio native, Norma Jean, moved to New York City in pursuit of a music career within months she was introduced to Chic founding fathers, Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards. Impressed with her vocal prowess, Norma Jean became the lead vocalist of the band, which consisted of Rodgers, Edwards and Tony Thompson. To complete the lineup, Luci Martin, a pretty young vocalist of Latin descent, was enlisted and became the fifth member of the group. Alfa Anderson later replaced Norma Jean when her solo album was produced which spawned the hit "Saturday".
Today Norma Jean and Luci performs throughout the world, spanning from the US to Asia and Europe. They have recorded and released songs in Japan, Europe, and the US. The music and their voices have been sampled by a Who’s Who List of Artists.
