Marc Sadane

Marc Sadane (born in Savannah, Georgia) was an R&B singer from the early '80s. He first began singing in the local church and later became the musical director for his local choir before moving on to doing off-Broadway acting & singing in New York.

While in New York, Marc studied fashion design at the Fashion Institute of Technology, but later gained an interest in music and later became the lead singer for Tungsten Steele.

In 1977, Marc left Tungsten Steele for a solo career and became the vocalist for the house band at Mikell's. He toured with Stephanie Mills which gained him some popularity. Marc sang in several clubs in New Jersey before catching the attention of producers/songwriters James Mtume and Reggie
Lucas.

In 1981, Marc was signed to Warner Bros. Records. During that same year, he released his debut album "One Way Love Affair" which didn't appear to make the Billboard charts at all.

The title song peaked at #34 on Billboard's Hot Soul Singles chart, staying on the chart for 13 weeks, becoming his highest appearance on the R&B charts to date.

The follow-up single "Sit Up" didn't match the success of his previous single, peaking only at #78 on Billboard's Hot Soul Singles chart, staying on the chart for 5 weeks.

In 1982, Marc released his follow-up album "Exciting" which also didn't appear to make the Billboard album charts.

The first single from the album "One Minute From Love" peaked at #78 on Billboard's Black Singles chart, staying on the chart for only 3 weeks. The follow-up single, the title song peaked at #64 on Billboard's Black Singles chart, staying on the chart for 6 weeks.

After the release of his second album, Marc took a hiatus from music until 1988 when he recorded the song "Why Can't You Believe in Me" which was produced by Darryl Payne for his showcase album "Past, Present & Future." The song also featured backing vocals from Will Downing.

After that, it seemed as if Marc faded into obscurity, but according to the soulwalking.co.uk website, Marc has been keeping a low music profile and according to videos on YouTube, it appears that Marc continues to perform live.
