Ain’t nobody straight in L.A. – The Miracles (With Motown Records de-camped to Los Angeles, and Smokey Robinson leaving also – they drafted in Billy Griffin and took their inspiration from the large Gay and Latin community … ‘homosexuality is part of society’, ‘Gay People are nice people too’ – were some of the lyrics … you can hear a Latin Funk riff that you could find on a War record)
Lay all your love on me – Abba (To some people this group was the ultimate Pop band ever … this is their best Disco trak and as this blog does not include Pop – their other trax are irrelevant … there were a few re-edits or remixes as we called everything then as the remixers/bootleggers thought the trak should have been longer and so do i)
Release the beast – Breakwater (An octet who released 2 lps on Arista Records which includes Kae Williams who became writer, producer and session musician for such artists as Bootsy Collins, Hi Gloss, Brooklyn – Bronx & Queens, Sybil, Thomas, Curtis Hairston and more … also sampled by Daft Punk)
Never – Jomanda (Cheri Williams, Joanne Thomas & Renee Williams were their individual names – they are know mainly for ‘Don’t you want my love’ which became a monster hit for Felix who used the vocal sample from the trak of the same name)
