About

Disco - soul singer.

Dolette, an exceptional singer with a voice that resonates deep within, is undoubtedly one of those extraordinary talents. To paraphrase Greg Wilson that "Boogie was, in essence, the direct continuation of Disco in its purest form", Henderson’s handful of releases on Rain combined the old with the new in that same way, connecting the dots between the Disco Funk era with the undiluted and independent underground NY dance scene of the early 80s.
