Chunky, Novi & Earnie

Did you know who Ilene Rappaport is? Needless to say, I did not know. This is the actual name of Chunky, later well-known as Lauren Wood.
Since Chunky, Novi & Earnie albums were not successful, the trio was released as Lauren Wood featuring Novi & Ernie, giving spotlights to Lauren Wood in 1979. When you listen to Chunky, Novi & Earnie's first album, even though you are fully aware that this is 1973 album, I believe you are not so touched. Please note that this fisrt album just shown their musical background and roots. The first album did not sell well. Therefore they lost deal with Warner Bros once….
