Working across genres such as disco, dance, and R&B, she was discovered by Levine in 1975, who signed her to his label.Thomas scored her first hit with her debut single ‘Weak Spot’, whilst follow-up single ‘Doomsday’ would also enter the UK charts.
The success of both songs, according to Levine, helped Thomas secure a flight to England to appear on Top Of The Tops in February 1976.After that, Thomas signed to Casablanca Records, where she released her debut album ‘I Wanna Make It On My Own’ (written and produced by Levine and Trench).
It was in 1984, however, where she scored her biggest hit ‘High Energy’ with Levine, which was “written uniquely and specifically for her”.“Nobody else in the world could have ever sung it”, Levine added in his tribute. ‘High Energy’ went on to sell seven million records worldwide.Thomas would go on to move to Levine’s new label Nightmare Records in 1986, where they would continue to work together until 1988.
