Starpoint was formed way
back in 1969 in New York, U.S.A. Originally they called themselves
Licyndiana (made up from the first few letters of each of the group's
sister's Christian names), but soon changed it because no one could
understand or pronounce it. After building a reputation on the club
scene, they were signed by Casablanca (after three previous outings)
in 1982 for All night long, including Bring your sweet lovin back.
Their follow-up was It's so delicious for the Boardwalk label in 1983.
From here they switched to Elektra where they have scored chart success
in America without making a major impression in the UK. Renee Diggs
has also worked as a backing singer with artists including James Ingram
and Bob James. In 2000, she recorded an album, released on the U.K.
Expansion label. Starpoint disbanded in 1990. Ernesto
Philips died 25th of March 2004 in a Baltimore hospital after a stroke.
Danceclassic.com was informed that (Sherlyn) Renee Diggs sadly passed
away on the 18th of March 2005 at the age of 50.
