The Canadian chanteuse is an early protege of Canada's famed producer Tony Green. Green achieved success with his work for Geraldine Hunt, Freddie James and of course, France Joli. His 1977 album with Carolyne however was not nearly as successful.
"Carolyne Bernier" was picked up for American distribution by Private Stock Records. The album featured a stunning 16:40 track on side two of "Secret Agent Love." Side one had the memorable tracks: "Dance With Me, Danse Avec Moi," a late-night sleaze number, and the mid-tempo "Hold Me, Touch Me." The latter was released as the American 12" single with an instrumental on it's b-side. The album also contained a throw away version of the Motown classic "My Guy."
The album is also noted for being orchestrated by Denis LePage (Lime) and recorded at Markos Studios. The same studio that would bring us Carol Jiani's mega-smash "Hit And Run Lover" a few years later. Carolyne co-wrote two of the tracks with Tony Green and supplied the backing vocals.
After it's American failure Carolyne did not have another U.S. release. In fact by the time of disco's boom years Carolyne was gone from the scene.
If you listen carefully to Secret Agent Love, you may hear some I Feel Love synths (around 7 till 13 minutes in Secret Agent Love and throughout the 12" of Love).
