Steve Martin Caro

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Steve Martin Caro, originally known as Steve Martin, was the lead singer of the band Left Banke. He added his family surname Caro in the 1980s to avoid confusion with Steve Martin, the famous comedian-actor of the same name.

Known for his strong high voice and melancholy sound, Steve Martin Caro scored with chart hits "Walk Away Renee", "Pretty Ballerina" and "Desiree" in the 1966-68 period.

Always an influence but never a mainstream star, Martin Caro never quite lived up to his vast potential, but it must be said he has contributed fine lasting work to popular music, and remains respected by many contemporary musicians.

Steve Martin Caro is the son of flamenco guitarist/vocalist Sarita Heredia.

Steve Martin Caro sings lead Vocal on two tracks on Charly Cazalet - Rough Mix NYC that was released in June 2005 on cdbaby.com.
