Facts of Life (band)

Facts of Life was an American soul/disco group formed by producer Millie Jackson, whose members were Jean Davis (sister of Tyrone Davis), Keith Williams, and Chuck Carter. They signed to independent label Kayvette Records, and a single, "Caught in the Middle", got airplay on Southern US radio stations but did not chart. [http://wm02.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:k9fpxqy5ld0e~T1 Biography] , Allmusic.com] Their second single was "Sometimes", a remake of country singer Bill Anderson's smash hit; Facts of Life's version hit #3 on the US Black Singles chart and #31 on the pop charts in 1977. [ [http://wm02.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:k9fpxqy5ld0e~T51 Billboard Singles] , Allmusic.com] As a result of the single's success, Kayvette rushed the album release, resulting in a bad pressing (the outer cover contained a number of spelling errors). Nevertheless, RCA picked up the group in 1978, but their second album was not very successful, and the group fizzled.
