Atlantic Starr: Atlantic Starr is a world famous R&B group based in White Plains. It was founded in 1977 by three brothers from Tarrytown: David Lewis, Wayne Lewis and Johnathan Lewis. All three brothers graduated from Woodlands High School (https://www.lohud.com/story/news/2017/06/09/greenburgh-band-atlantic-starr-honored-street-naming/383680001/). The three founding brothers also function as lead singers. In addition to being a lead singer Johnathon Lewis also plays the trombone. At the time it was founded, the band also included: Sharon Bryant, William Sudderth,(trumpet) Koran Daniels,(saxophone) Clifford Archer, Porter Carroll Jr., and Joseph Phillips.
The band, Earth Wind & Fire was the inspiration for much of Atlantic Starr’s early music. Their first two albums were Atlantic Starr (1978) and Straight to the Point (1979). These albums did ok, the most successful song on these first two albums “Stand Up” made it to number 16 on Billboard’s R&B charts. However, it was their third album, Radiant (1981)that made them into titans of R&B music. The following year when they released their fourth album Brilliance the single “Circles” climbed to number 2 on Billboard’s R&B charts.
in 1987 they released their first two number 1 hits “Always” and “Secret Lovers” (https://www.allmusic.com/artist/atlantic-starr-mn0000509356/biography).
