Alice Leon is someone I've known since the mid-1980s when she fronted a band called Secret Lovers. They were a popular band around the Jersey Shore and had a regional radio hit with “Desiree (I Know You’re Home Tonight).”. Years later, she began releasing records with a band called The Alice Project and solo records under her own name.
I first interviewed Alice Leon about Secret Lovers for my book, Beyond the Palace. That interview can be found here.
In 2019, I interviewed Alice about a wonderful project of hers called The Songs 4 U. That feature can be found here.
