Check out the video for my cover of the Barry White classic, "I'm Gonna Love You Just A Little More Baby". It was produced by myself and directed/edited by my very good friend Patricia Mueller for Weluv2sing Productions. Much thanks to the rest of the crew: Paul and Greg Mueller, Cario Johnson, Alex Lobos and Adewole Williams. It was just added to KoldKast.Tv on CenterStage!!..BabyDoll Entertainment is the brainchild and dream of its founder, Tracey Whitney, a lifelong performer whose musical roots run deep: her mother Louise Whitney and father Ellis Ray "Ray Boone" Leary, both incredible performers (and proverbial "big fish in a little pond") in Portland, Oregon had eight children who all came out singing. When Tracey was 5, her mom packed up the kids and moved to Los Angeles. Shortly after establishing new roots, Louise toured with legends of soul Solomon Burke and Johnny Otis. Other Whitney clan members like Aunt Mary Lee (who became a member of Stevie Wonder's "Wonderlove", and was the female lead on his “Songs In The Key Of Life†classic, "As"), Uncle’s Sam and Jimmy (both singers) and Kenny Roy (a drummer) also made the trek to California, and all would get a taste of local fame, becoming well-known LA-area entertainers. -- With all this music going on around them it was only natural that the kids would start to mimic the grown-ups, who they always saw rehearsing. Mom Louise and the kids would go on to become the singing group, “The Whitney Familyâ€, debuting at the famed Coconut Grove in Los Angeles when Tracey was 11 years old. For over 15 years The Whitney Family toured the world, recorded 2 albums (one with a Billboard magazine Top Singles Pick), and made guest appearances on several local and national TV shows. After leaving the family band, Tracey continued singing throughout Los Angeles, spent five years performing in Japan, and toured with the Genius Of Soul, Ray Charles as a member of his backing group, “The Raylettesâ€. --
After years of sharing the spotlight, Tracey Whitney is now taking center stage! BabyDoll Entertainment is very pleased to announce the release of Tracey's new CD, "Love... A Fable In 9 Acts". As executive producer, vocal arranger/producer and writer, Tracey's "Love..." features producers/multi-instrumentalists Jeeve Ducornet and Herman "Hollywood" Dawkins, contributing producer and engineer Cario Johnson, her brothers Phillip on acoustic and electric guitar and Ray on acoustic guitar and bass, Tim Anderson on saxophone and Irene Scott on violin. The musicians grace the record with an elegant touch of jazz, a genre that Tracey always turns to for inspiration for her breathtaking harmonies. Like Sade, Tracey Whitney uses that jazz-inflected sound as a backdrop for her smooth vocal style, an intoxicating formula that sublimely complements her soul-affirming lyrics. "What I'm trying to create with my music is that old-school kind of romantic feel," Tracey says. "I'm singing for people who want what I consider to be real songs, who need to hear that romance in their music againâ€.
