In addition to singing, Carey also co-wrote two songs for the soundtrack with composer Stu Phillips. In 1971, the album Vacuum Cleaner resulted co-credited to Merryweather & Carey.
In December 1972, Carey was Penthouse magazine's Pet of the Month. That same year, she and Merryweather formed the group Mama Lion and released the albums Preserve Wildlife and its 1973 follow up Give It Everything I've Got. Lynn and the band are seen performing in another Russ Meyer film called The Seven Minutes. Extensive tours of Europe and North America followed, including appearances at The Montreux Jazz Festival and performances on German television.
In 1984, her debut solo release (which she produced along with co-producer Ollie Mitchell) Good Times showcased her jazz & big band leanings. A remastered CD reissue of the album was released in 2000. During the early 1980s, Carey also performed with the L.A. Jazz Choir and appeared on the group's second Grammy-nominated album, From All Sides, released in 1985.
During the 1990s and in the early 2000s, she performed in Russia on several different occasions. In 2001, the archival CD release Lynn Carey - Mama Lion...Roars Back! was issued featuring the early Mama Lion demos which secured the group their initial record deal as well as 80-90s unreleased solo material.
Her studio session credits range from backing vocals for Charlie Musselwhite (1975) to Eric Burdon (80s era), Michel Berger and providing music for various television and film scores in the 1980s.
Carey credits her father with introducing her to the world of jazz music and foreign film.
