Tracy Weber (July 14, 1959 – May 1981) grew up in Jamaica, an area of Queens in New York, nearby Richard Bassoff's writing partner: Nick Braddy. The duo wrote the music for her first song in a single day, after a record executive showed strong interest in a demo of One Step At A Time but later said that their record company didn't have the finances to release it. So the release deal went to RFC Records instead.

Tracy Weber was generously talented as she could sing any song after hearing it just once, one or two studio takes was all she needed. Sadly she was shot to death (by an individual targeting her brother) just two weeks before her first record finally came out. Aside of One Step At A Time and Sure Shot, Braddy and Bassoff also recorded a demo with Tracy named You Ought To Know which was later released with Michelle Wallace on vocals.
