Biography

Aurra were an American soul musical group formed in 1979, originating as a spin-off of the funk band Slave. The initial line-up included Steve Washington, Curt Jones, Starleana Young, and Thomas Lockett. Aurra signed with Dream Records before moving to Salsoul Records, where they achieved notable success. Their debut album Send Your Love was released in 1981, featuring hits such as "Are You Single", which reached number 16 on the US Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and "Checkin' You Out". The group's biggest hit under the Aurra name was "Make Up Your Mind", reaching number six on the R&B chart. In 1985, they released their final album Like I Like It, which was re-released in Europe in 1986 and reached number 12 in the UK. Legal issues over the name led to the departure of principal members Curt Jones and Starleana Young, who formed Déjà and released their debut album Serious in 1987 under Virgin Records.
