Today’s trax

 

 

Wonderful  –  Tavares (This trak was produced by Freddie Perren later known for Gloria Gaynor’s handbag classic … written by Carl Hampton & Homer Banks who were house writers at Stax Records)

At the football stadium  –  Love Symphony Orchestra  (Disco became such big business that even Bob   Guccione – owner of Adult magazine Penthouse became involved – hence the album called “Penthouse presents … ” vocals by Diva Gray a top New York session vocalist)

Party  –  Leon Haywood (Leon was not an originator however his trax that were recorded between were quality and help understand the changing face in Soul/Funk & sometimes Disco … inspiration seemed to come from a mixture of Norman Whitfield & George Clinton)

Tonight  –  Those Guys featuring (I picked up this  12” on for two equal reasons – vocal performance : Eleanor Mills also produced, arranged and mixed by The Basement Boys … there is also another interesting mix – ‘you gave it up in a Buick – honey it was wonderful’ … are some of the lyrics)
