Artist Biography
Zulema was a pioneer in that she was a 1970s Black R&B singer who wrote much of her own material, and took on some of her own production. Born Zulema Cusseaux in Tampa, Florida, she was a member of the Lovelles in the late '60s and early '70s. A Van McCoy-produced Lovelles single ("So Much Love") became a Top 20 R&B hit in 1971, but Zulema went solo shortly afterward, recording a couple of albums for Sussex. She saw her biggest hits with a series of LPs for RCA in the mid-'70s, and reached the R&B charts in 1975 with "Wanna Be Where You Are." Her recording career ended after an album for Le Joint in the late '70s.
