Jackie Carter - Ruby Shoes [Full Album, Expanded Version] (1979)
Jackie Carter (real name: Jacqueline Nemorin) was born in Mauritius but grew up in London. In the early 70s, she moved to Germany and adapted the artist name Jackie Carter. She started her singing career as a session singer for Veit Marvos' Red Point Orchestra sharing the stage with a then unknown Donna Summer. In 1974 she was one of several session singers hired for an album project by producers Michael Kunze and Sylvester Levay under the name Silver Convention. She had a solo on the album with the ballad Please Don’t Change The Chords Of This Song. While the other singers had been contractually engaged in other projects, Jackie was eventually assembled with Ramona Wulf and Linda G. Thompson to promote their single Save Me. She did a few TV performances before she quit for a solo career. She was replaced by Penny McLean.
Producer Frank Diez of German jazz-rock group Emergency took charge of her solo career and wrote & produced two disco albums with her, Treat Me Like A Woman (1976) and Ruby Shoes (1979).
In the 80s she joined girl group The Hornettes before hooking up with Toby Gad in 1990 who was working his brother Jens for Frank Farian on the infamous Milli Vanilli album. The two of them began a relationship both privately and musically, and started working on an album project of ethnic flavoured pop with Farian as an executive producer. Jackie dropped the name Jackie Carter completely and adapted her original Mauritian surname Nemorin for the next chapter in her career, releasing two albums Creole Dance (1993) and Mission Of Love (1995). Nemorin & Gad wrote songs for other artists such as Ruth Jacott, Nino De Angelo and Scatman, as well as working with Enrique Iglesias on his Cosas de amor album 1998.
