Sharon Bryant (born August 14, 1956, Greenburgh, Westchester County, New York) [1] is an American R&B singer. She began her career as the lead singer of the R&B group Atlantic Starr in 1976. [2]
Bryant sang lead on songs such as "When Love Calls" and "Circles". She left the group in pursuit of a solo career in 1984, and had moderate solo success with that effort. [2] She would not achieve success on her own again until five years later, when the ballad " Foolish Heart" reached the top ten on Billboard's R&B chart. Another major R&B hit from the accompanying self-titled album, "Let Go" was also a moderate pop hit, cracking the top 40 on the pop charts (at #34) [3] and charting at No. 37 on Radio & Records Magazine's Top 100.
In 2013, Bryant appeared as a background vocalist on Empire of the Sun's second album Ice on the Dune on the song "Keep a Watch". [4]
