Noël (singer)
American singer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Noël is an American singer. Originally a model based in Los Angeles, she was eventually noticed by brothers Ron and Russell Mael of the band Sparks who promoted her as a singer. The duo wrote and produced her debut, the disco album Is There More to Life Than Dancing?, released by Virgin Records in 1979.[1]
Her next album, Peer Pressure, was released on March 29, 1982 on the Scotti Brothers label and was credited as Noël and the Red Wedge.[2] This time, it was produced by Ron Kramer and Mitchell Froom (of Gamma), the latter of whom also played keyboards.[3] Since then, she has remained relatively anonymous, playing in various jazz groups. Her real-life identity has not been publicly revealed.[1]
