Her debut hit, I Wanna Get to You, reached #25 on the country charts, followed by Get on My Love Train (#3) and He Took Me for a Ride (#10). She released five albums with Capitol and earned Academy of Country Music nominations for Most Promising Female Vocalist in 1975 and 1976. In 1982, she joined Elektra Records, produced by James Stroud, charting again with Love Take It Easy on Me.\u000f\u000fToday, LaCosta divides her time between Nashville and Las Vegas, embracing her most cherished role as \u201cMomma\u201d to daughter Cali (a rising Country Star who has featured LaCosta in her three music videos) and son Zach (an Aerospace Engineer), and as proud grandmother to Adelin.
