There are at least two artists known by the name Carol Lloyd:
1. Carol Lloyd is an American singer born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She is known for the release of her two solo albums: Score in 1979 and Love Carol in 1983. The singer first signed to EarMarc Records in August 1979, the newest division of Casablanca Records, which in turn is chapter label owned by the Universal Music Group. Under EarMarc's supervision, she received enough funding to produce her debut studio album, which would become the disco-oriented Score (1979); Lloyd worked with producers Michael Forte and Bruce Weeden and recorded the album in her native town of Philadelphia at Alpha International Studios. She collaborated with several individuals, including saxophonist Mark Adler, design agency Gribbitt!, and drummer Robert Sonsini. Her debut single, the title track, was released in September 1979. A cover of The Four Tops' "Shake Me, Wake Me (When It's Over)", followed as the album's second and final single. It was distributed in December 1979, also by EarMarc. The final single received frequent attention in dance clubs and heavy airplay by disc jockeys.
Love Carol served as the follow-up to Score and was released in 1983 by a different label, the independently-owned Philly World Records. Unlike its predecessor, it was largely unsuccessful and received little to no attention. Both Score and Love Carol was digitally reissued in the United States in 2010 and 2014 respectively on Essential Music Group label.
2. Carol Ann Lloyd (1948–2017), born as Carol Ann Cramb, was an Australian singer, songwriter, composer, and advertising executive. She was described as "Australia's original rock chick" for her role in the Brisbane-based bands Railroad Gin (1973–75) and Carol Lloyd Band, as well as her solo career. She was recognised for her long, curly red hair, which was insured with Lloyd's of London for $100,000. Carol Ann Lloyd died on 13 February 2017 due to complications from her interstitial pulmonary fibrosis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diagnosed four years earlier. Read more on Last.fm.
