Washington High School in Atlanta, She received a scholarship after graduating in 1965, to attend Morris Brown College where she performed every genre from musical theater to grand opera. Carne planned on furthering her studies at Juilliard School of Music in New York when she met and married Jazz pianist Doug Carn and became a featured vocalist in his jazz fusion band. The couple based themselves in Los Angeles, California, where Carne did three early albums with her husband, "Infant Eyes", "Spirit Of The New Land" and "Revelations". Her work with the band garnered enthusiastic new jazz fans and brought her to the attention of the soon-to-be mega-group Earth Wind and Fire. Her voice helped brighten the group's first two albums, "Earth Wind And Fire," and "The Need Of Love" where she expanded her musical learning with the group and went beyond her jazz work.
In 1976, Carne was signed to Kenneth Gamble and Leon Huff's Philadelphia International Records; her debut album Jean Carn was a classy affair that merged the best of '70s soul and jazz with solid song-writing and tight instrumental support (MFSB, Instant Funk). The debut single "Free Love" went to number 23 R&B. Though the follow-up single did not chart, several of the album's tracks received considerable radio airplay. In June 1978, Happy to Be With You, her second album for the label was released. It included the hit single "Don't Let It Go to Your Head."
Carne's third Philadelphia International album When I Find You Love was more of a return conceptually (musically and sonically) to that of Jean Carn. Produced by Dexter Wansel, the album rates as one of Carne's best efforts. The smooth and halting "My Love Don't Come Easy" peaked at number 43 R&B in the summer of 1979. At this time Ms. Carne was switched from the Philadelphia International label to the subsidiary TSOP imprint for her final outing. Released in August 1981, Sweet and Wonderful featured a stunning and classy remake of the Spinners' "Love Don't Love Nobody," which went to number 35 R&B.
Frustrated with her lack of substantial sales and promotion of her previous albums which were artistic and critical successes, if not commercially as acclaimed, Carne moved to Motown Records in 1982, making her label debut with the album Trust Me. The single "If You Don't Know Me By Now," a cover of the Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes hit with backing vocals by The Temptations, went to number 49 R&B. A scheduled follow-up LP was canned and is reportedly in the vaults, following Ms. Carne's leaving the Motown roster. By 1986, Carne signed to Omni Records. Closer Than Close was released in July of that year and the title track went to number one R&B. Her 1988 album You're a Part of Me included a hit cover of Aretha Franklin's "Ain't No Way." Carne later signed with Place One Entertainment, which reunited her with former Omni Records president Steve Bernstein, with her Love Lessons album.

Don't Let It Go To Your Head
Jean Carn Lyrics
Now that you know
How I feel about you
Don't let it go to your head, no
Don't let it go to your head, no (no, no, no, no)
Now that you know
I can't live with you, ooh-wee
Don't let it go to your head, no (no, no, no)
Don't let it go to your head, no (no, no, no)
Don't take advantage of my love
Treat me good, treat me fair
Treat me fine
Now that I've given you
Every part of me, ooh-wee
Don't let it go to your head, no
Don't let it go to your head, no (no, no, no, no)
'Cause if you're playin' games
It would be a shame
Don't break my heart
Don't break my heart
Woo, woo
'Cause if you're playin' games
It would be a shame
Don't break my heart
Don't break my heart
Woo, oh, ho, ho
Now that you know
How I feel about you, ooh-wee
Don't let it go to your head, no (no, no, no, no)
Don't let it go to your head, no (no)
Now that you know
I can't live with you, ooh-wee
Don't let it go to your head, no (no, no, no)
Don't let it go to your head, no (no, no, no, no)
Don't let it, don't let it, don't let it
Go to your head, no
Don't let it, don't let it, don't let it
Go to your head, no
Oh, ho
Don't break my heart
Woo, woo, ho, ho, ho, ooh-wee, uh-huh
Don't let it, don't let it, don't let it
Don't let it go to your head, no, no, no, mmm, hmm
Don't, don't ever never, never let it
Don't let it go to your head, your head (no, no, no, no, no, no)
Don't let it, don't let it, don't let it
Don't let it go to your head, no (oh, no, no, no, no, no, no)
Don't let it go to your head, no
Don't let it go to your head, no (ooh, hoo, mmm, hmm, mmm, hmm)
Don't let it, don't let it, don't let it
Don't let it go to your head, no (no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no)
Don't let it go to your head, no
Don't let it go to your head, no (ooh, hoo, ooh, hoo)
Don't let it, don't let it, don't let it
Don't let it go to your head, no (ooh, no, no, no, no)
Don't let it go to your head, no
Don't let it go to your head, no

yall children dont even know!!
i first heard this song back in 1974
it was my moms favorite song
such good times back then....
where the hell did all the time go.
well.....
the 70's are long gone and so is my mom.
man.......
I feel myself tearing up
i miss my childhood soo bad
a time where everything just made more sense.
and trust me,
if i could go back i would
i need things to be like they use to be
not a care in the world
i remeber my mom would say....
u better get ya self together cuz im not gonna live forever
an time waits for no one!!
i never understood what she meant by that
guess what!!
now i do!!!!
she was a wise lady.
i miss that.
