Album:Freestyle's Greatest Hits
Sandra Tola Casanas was an original member of the Freestyle girl group that became known as Expose. But all three members left before Expose's first album was recorded in 1985. Sandra went on to have shortlived success recording as Sandee. She was born Jan. 19, 1962 in Hollywood, FL. When Expose was first formed in 1983, they were called X-Posed. Sandee was one of the three original members. The producer was Lewis Martinee. X-Posed released Point of No Return as a single on Pantera Records and it topped Billboard's Dance Club Play chart. This success got them a record deal with Arista. A second single was released and the group name was changed to Expose. Arista gave the OK to record an album. But things didn't go well and all three girls were replaced. Sandee recorded the 1986 single Let's Stay in Love for Gold Star Records in Miami. Then she signed with Pizazz Records with Atlantic distribution. You're the One charted on the Dance chart. It was written and produced by Avy Gonzalez who produced other Pizazz artists like Genuine Parts. You can get You're the One on this Thump Records various artists comp. Then Sandee signed with Fever Records owned by New York City nightclub owner Sal Abbatello. He got her an album deal with Columbia and the 1991 album Only Time Will Tell. The single Notice Me reached #9 on the Dance chart. It was written and produced by Clivilillies & Cole AKA C+C Music Factory. They produced half the album. And that was it Sandee continued to perform but she never recorded again. She died from a seizure on Dec. 15, 2008 at age 46. Here's Sandee performing You're the One.
