Biography

Born in Los Angeles, California, Carey first began her career as a teen model and actress appearing in the 1966 cult film Lord Love a Duck as well as several guest slots on the T.V. shows Lassie, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., Run for Your Life, The Donna Reed Show and The Wild Wild West.

In the late 1960s, she joined and recorded with the band C.K. Strong for their 1970 self-titled release. The band later opened for Procol Harum in concert.

She subsequently recorded with Neil Merryweather on the 1970 joint project album "Ivar Avenue Reunion" which also featured musicians Barry Goldberg and Charlie Musselwhite. Also in 1970, she provided the vocals for the singing of fictional character Kelly McNamara (Dolly Read) in Russ Meyer's Beyond the Valley of the Dolls.

In addition to singing, Carey also co-wrote two songs for the soundtrack with composer Stu Phillips. In 1971, the album Vacuum Cleaner resulted co-credited to Merryweather & Carey.

In December 1972, Carey was Penthouse magazine's Pet of the Month. That same year, she and Merryweather formed the group Mama Lion and released the albums Preserve Wildlife and its 1973 follow up Give It Everything I've Got. Lynn and the band are seen performing in another Russ Meyer film called The Seven Minutes. Extensive tours of Europe and North America followed, including appearances at The Montreux Jazz Festival and performances on German television.

In 1984, her debut solo release (which she produced along with co-producer Ollie Mitchell) Good Times showcased her jazz & big band leanings.(A remastered CD reissue of the album was released in 2000). During the early 1980s, Carey also performed with the L.A. Jazz Choir and appeared on the group's second Grammy-nominated album, "From All Sides", released in 1985.

During the 1990s and in the early 2000s, she performed in Russia on several different occasions. In 2001, the archival CD release Lynn Carey - Mama Lion...Roars Back! was issued featuring the early Mama Lion demos which secured the group their initial record deal as well as 80-90s unreleased solo material.

Her studio session credits range from backing vocals for Charlie Musselwhite (1975) to Eric Burdon (80s era), Michel Berger and providing music for various television and film scores in the 1980s.

Lynn credits her father with introducing her to the world of jazz music and foreign film.

From his prison cell, Alan Musgrave dictates his experiences of the previous year, which he dedicated to fulfilling the unending wishes and ambitions of high school senior Barbara Ann Greene. The daughter of Marie, a cocktail waitress sinking unhappily into her forties, Barbara wants every kind of success and for everyone to love her. Signing a pact with Alan in wet cement, Barbara soon has the 12 cashmere sweaters needed to join an exclusive girls' club. She drops out of school to become the principal's new secretary and gets involved in church activities run by strait-laced but hyper-hormonal Bob Bernard. When Barbara Ann decides she wants Bob for her husband, Alan facilitates by keeping Bob's eccentric mother Stella, who disapproves of Barbara Ann, perpetually plastered. Then Barbara meets schlock producer T. Harrison Belmont, the King of Beach Party movies, and decides to become the biggest star that ever was. Bob refuses, however, to allow his wife to have a Hollywood screen test, so Barbara Ann decides she wants a divorce. Since Bob's mother frowns upon divorce, Alan takes matters into his own hands to kill Bob. Although Bob proves to be almost indestructible, by graduation time Alan has him in a wheelchair. At the graduation ceremony, Alan pursues Bob with a tractor, humorously killing him and everyone else on the speakers' platform. Barbara Ann goes on to Hollywood fame in her debut film "Bikini Widow", while Alan is sent to prison.
