about

D.C. LaRue (born David Charles L'Heureux on April 26, 1948 in Meriden, Connecticut, U.S.A.) is a disco music artist. His music was successful in clubs and on dance music charts worldwide during the 1970s and early 1980s. LaRue's first recording was the 1974 Kirshner Records single "Honey Bear (The Good Time's Right Here)." A second one-off single, 1975's "Move In Closer," was on the Claridge Records imprint. Neither single charted. However the following year his luck changed with the 1976 album Ca-the-drals. The Pyramid Records album rose to #-123 on "Billboard's Hot 200" The double A-side 12" single of "Ca-the-drals" (backed with fellow artist/drummer Pat Lundy's "Day By Day/My Sweet Lord") was one of the earliest commercially available 12" singles. "Ca-the-drals/Deep Dark Delicious Night" would hit #-1 on "Billboard's Dance Music/Club Play Singles" chart. "Ca-the-drals" would also hit #-2 on "Billboard's Disco Singles" chart and #-94 on "Billboard's Hot 100" chart. In less than a year he began work on his second album, The Tea Dance. The 1977 concept album capturing the essence and feel of a Broadway show featured such notable background singers as Lani Groves and Sharon Redd. It also included a duet with 1960s rock/pop icon Lou Christie on "Don't Keep It In The Shadows." The tracks: "Face Of Love," "Overture," "O Ba Ba (No Reino Da Mae Do Ouro)," "Indiscreet" and "Don't Keep It In The Shadows" would all chart at #-2 on "Billboard's Dance Music Club Play Singles" chart.
