LaRue's first recording was the 1974 Kirshner Records single "Honey Bear (The Good Time's Right Here)." A second one-off single, 1975's "Move In Closer," was on the Claridge Records imprint. Neither single charted. However the following year LaRue's luck changed with the 1976 album
Ca-the-drals. The Pyramid Records album rose to #-123 on "
Billboard's Hot 200". The double A-side 12" single of "Ca-the-drals" (backed with fellow artist/drummer Pat Lundy's "Day By Day/My Sweet Lord") was one of the earliest commercially available 12" singles. "Ca-the-drals/Deep Dark Delicious Night" would hit #-1 on "Billboard's
Dance Music/Club Play" chart. "Ca-the-drals" would also hit #-2 on "Billboard's Disco Singles" chart "Indiscreet" would go one to become one of the more important and influential hip hop break tracks of the old skool hip hop eras. Despite the brisk sales of both of LaRue's albums, Pyramid Records folded operations in the USA in 1978. With the success of those albums, he was signed (and these albums licensed) to Casablanca Records & Filmworks in 1978. His first release on his new label was "Do You Want The Real Thing?" The single was included on the platinum selling soundtrack album for the movie ''
Thank God It's Friday. That same year saw LaRue release his third album Confessions''. Once again he scored a hit with it which hit #12 on "Billboard's Dance Music/Club Play" chart and included "Let Them Dance". In 2010, LaRue recorded the new track "Crash And Burn" for the Ian Levine produced compilation album
Northern Soul: 2010. In February 2012, LaRue returned with "More Things Change." A Nu Disco genre track he did with artist/producer Jimmy Michaels. As of 2012 LaRue has been the host of his own radio show "Disco Juice" on
Newtown Radio. Tributes, themed shows as well as interviews of famed disco artists are his format on the Saturday night show. ==Albums==
