NIKKI CORVETTE

 
Nikki Corvette  (born Dominique Lorenz in Detroit, MI), is a singer best known as a member of the band Nikki & The Corvettes from 1977 through 1981.  In late 1977 or early 1978, a friend of hers arranged for Nikki to headline a concert at a bar, and she spent the next few weeks organizing Nikki and the Corvettes.  The new band played together for the first time at the concert.  The Corvettes were signed by Bomp! Records and released an album, Nikki and the Corvettes in 1980.  (More from Wikipedia)
