Spotlight: Charlotte McKinnon, Singer/Performer
Charlotte McKinnon is a dear friend from Miami, Florida. Any picture you have seen in the last 12 years of KC and the Sunshine Band with two singers beside him features my humble and talented friend.
Charlotte began belting out tunes with a lead in her school play at age seven and first lead a song in church at age12. At fifteen she’d added beauty contestant winner to her resume and by age 18 had recorded three songs: “Distant Lover,” “Jam on Me,” and performed lead vocals on “Fascinated” with Company B.
Company B’s first single, “Fascinated” was released in 1986 on independent label The Summer. The song created so much buzz in clubs around Miami that it soon made its way to local radio stations. This in turn led it to be picked up and re-released by Atlantic Records.
With a much wider distribution (by Atlantic) “Fascinated” received significant radio and club airplay in all major US cities resulting in a number one spot on the US Hot Dance Club Play Chart and reached 21 on the Billboard Hot 100. (Source: Wikipedia)
