C.C Grace

C.C. Grace is a reincarnation of the spirit of 1970s Southern California cosmic country folk-rock, currently living in Pasadena, CA. Little is known of her early life. She appears to have emerged on the California music scene full-grown.

Some say she is the alter-ego of Callie Cardamon, a jazz singer also living in Pasadena, CA. But Callie Cardamon is a brunette and barely five feet tall, whereas C.C. Grace is a blonde and easily 5’2” (in her kick-ass cowboy boots), so that couldn’t be true.

Plus, C.C. Grace denies that she is anyone’s alter-ego and finds it insulting to be considered a mere creation of someone else’s imagination. Regardless of who she is and where she came from, this girl can sing a song and bring tears to your eyes. Her sultry voice and finger-style guitar-playing, reminiscent of James Taylor, Jim Croce, and Joni Mitchell, will soothe the ears and the soul. Give her a spin!

Debby Clinton's Platinum Sound Records of Mountain Park, Oklahoma rocks the music charts

MOUNTAIN PARK, OKLAHOMA (IFS) --  In this sleepy little community of about 500 people, with the local schools being the center of attention, quietly in the home office of Debby Clinton, she runs a recording empire that has been going very strong since 1976.  Clinton's little company Platinum Sound Productions that inked a recording and distribution deal with Frank Slay's Claridge Records back in the early days when her partners were branching out from Motown Records.

Clinton is also an actress that has appeared in many films including with Hong Kong's Bruce Li, Chuck Norris, and several others.  But her love of the recording business really took her by storm.  It has always been her first love and when she first met RG Ingersoll, who introduced her to Lee Rogers and Kenny Smith, and that's what we call it history.  Clinton actually took control of Platinum Sound back in 2004, ask the SDC OmniMedia Group would periodically release several compilation CDs from various artists on the label over the years.

Clinton is behind the RG's All Nite Funk Band with three major charting songs in the pass two years, and with two artists riding the national charts as this story is being put together.

It would only be three (3) years later that Sir Paul McCartney of MPL Communications would purchase all of Claridge Records.  Along with the Platinum Sound Records, all of the masters of the Four Seasons, Mitch Ryder, Bo Kirkland, Ruth Davis, Freddie Canon, Sugarloaf and Cardella DiMilo.

McCartney's streamlining of Claridge Records and its publishing arm all went into the catalog of Wen Music.  As Platinum Sound was only an independent production house, Lee Rogers our CEO/President at that time decided it would be a better deal if we went on our own.

Platinum Sound Records was born with the release of Lee Rogers' "Second Thoughts" produced by RG Ingersoll for his Hotrax Productions.

Clinton has been active in the music business for over twenty-five years and this quiet beautiful lady does not even let her neighbors know anything about her music and/or business attributes.

Burning the midnight oil, you would fine Clinton up at all hours of the night working on websites, group and record productions and promotions.  Yet a grandmother, she always find some time to be with her children and grand children.  But grandma rocks.

It was with little hesitation that Smith decided to record Clinton's first release for the Mountain Park, Oklahoma, with the hot label and moving it from Memphis, Tennessee.  Clinton is the co-writer on several of the new songs along with Ingersoll and including a rendition of her first single 'Love Confusion".  The album/CD is entitled "Brain Freeze: The Memphis Sessions" by Kenny Smith with Clinton as the executive producer.  The CD will be released by January 2016 for Platinum Sound Records.
