Celi Bee, born Celida Ines Camacho in New York City to Puerto Rican parents, is a disco-era singer who found fame and a dedicated following in the 1970s with a string of dance hits. Her career was shaped by her collaboration with her then-husband and producer, Pepe Luis Soto, with whom she formed Celi Bee & The Buzzy Bunch. Celi Bee's music was characterized by its blend of disco beats with Latin influences, showcasing her distinct vocal stylings and vibrant energy.
Her most recognizable hit, "Superman," released in 1977, became an anthem of the disco movement and solidified her place within the genre. Celi Bee's albums often featured thematic elements, comprehensive production, and catchy hooks, which resonated with dancefloor enthusiasts. Additionally, songs like "Fly Me on the Wings of Love" captured the essence of the era's escapist flair.
