Chunky, Novi & Ernie - st LP (1977)

US soft rock-trio formed by singer-songwriter Ilene Rappaport (Chunky) who later went solo under the name Lauren Wood

Lauren Wood (born Ilene Rappaport in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania), also known as Chunky, is an American singer-songwriter, voice-over artist, and producer.

Wood's career began in the mid-1960s when she formed a band called Rebecca and the Sunnybrook Farmers. 

In 1972, she provided back-up vocals on Frank Zappa's album The Grand Wazoo. 

In 1973, Wood formed the band Chunky, Novi & Ernie with her cousin Novi Novog and bassist Ernie Eremita (died 15 April 2018). 

They released two albums both co-produced by Ted Templeman and John Cale.

Chunky, Novi & Ernie released two albums with the same title, this album was released in 1977.

Chunky, real name Ilene Rappaport went solo under the name Lauren Wood. The other band members were Novi (Ilene) Novog and Ernie Eremita

This is a bit of an old request from this year so hope that person is still around to hear it because it is a good album and a bit different vocal style.
