Chris Clark (born February 1, 1946) in Santa Cruz, California, is an American Motown soul singer. Clark became famous in England as the "white Negress" (a nickname meant as a compliment), since the six-foot platinum blonde, blue-eyed soul songstress toured with fellow Motown artists.
Recording on the V.I.P. label for Motown, Chris Clark is still acknowledged by the Northern Soul community for songs such as 1965's "Do Right Baby Do Right" (by Berry Gordy, Jr) and 1966's "Love's Gone Bad" (Holland-Dozier-Holland). Another notable song of Clark's was her 1967 single "I Want To Go Back There Again" (Berry Gordy, Jr).
The United States' answer to Dusty Springfield, Clark, who also dated Motown founder Berry Gordy Jr, managed to have only one hit; ironically, it was on the R&B singles chart. "Love's Gone Bad" made #105 pop, and #41 R&B in 1966.
In 1967, Motown Records released an album by Chris called Soul Sounds on the Motown label. The cover art features the singer against a black background and wearing a black dress in striking contrast to her fair skin, blue eyes and blonde hair. The album featured twelve songs including a rare Motown ballad called "If You Should Walk Away" (written by Berry Gordy himself) which was intended to be released as her next single, but that was not to be. Clark made one more album for Motown on a newly created "rock" label Weed called C.C. Rides Again (1969), but the album was never promoted and failed. Today it is considered a rare collectable. It remains the only album ever released on the label.
A CD made in Belgium entitled Soul Sounds made from the original master tapes was issued quite recently, but the disc actually contains the songs from both her albums with Motown plus an unreleased single. A 2005 50-track double-CD compilation includes Soul Sounds, C.C. Rides Again, and many unreleased Motown recordings.
In 1972, Chris Clark went on to co-write the screenplay for the motion picture Lady Sings the Blues starring Diana Ross, for which she was nominated for an Academy Award. She later became a Vice-President for Motown Records in Los Angeles.
In 1982 she married Academy Award-winning screenwriter and novelist Ernest Tidyman. Sadly, after only two years of marriage he died of a perforated ulcer in 1984.
In the years since, Miss Clark has become an art photographer and has shown mainly to art dealers and at a few galleries. She also performs on stage occasionally in clubs across the country and in Europe.
Chris Clark is an English electronic musician creating in the genre of IDM currently signed to Warp Records. With the 2006 release of Throttle Furniture, he shortened his artist name to Clark. 2_iw.htm" target="_blank">http://www.themilkfactory.co.uk/interviews/cclark_2_iw.htm Throttle Furniture and _Body Riddle were both three years in the making, and it is clear during this time Clark has refined his sound. The production on these albums is exceptional, manipulating live drum samples to construct complex beats, in the manner of many IDM artists. He performed with a live drummer during his tour at the end of 2006.
Body Riddle was released with a free EP, ThrottleClarence when purchased from particular sources. This contains some of his early tracks which were not released. Clark is also in the process of recording extended versions of his rave tracks, to be released on 20 minute mini CDs.
His album Clarence Park was named after Clarence Park, a public park in his home town of St Albans.
