Post Description

Aurra started off in 1980 as an offshoot of the R&B/funk band Slave, featuring Jones, Young, Charles Carter and Buddy Hankerson. Aurra initially signed with Dream Records and then Salsoul Records. During the early 1980s they found success with hits like "Are You Single" (#16 R&B) and "Make Up Your Mind" (their biggest US hit under this moniker, #6 R&B and #71 pop). Legal issues with a former member over the name Aurra made the duo change their name to Déja, after which they had a big hit with "You and Me Tonight", which reached #2 R&B, #54 pop in the US. A deal with Virgin affiliate 10 Records in the UK resulted in the song reaching #12 on the UK Singles Chart, their best showing on that chart.

They later cracked the upper reaches of the US Billboard R&B chart with the Teddy Riley produced hit, "Made To Be Together" in 1989. Starleana Young left the group to go solo, and was replaced by Mysti Day.
