Love in slow motion  –  Angela Bofill (Signed to the Jazz-based label GRP where she made two stellar albums before moving unto Arista Records and others … she was also the featured vocalist for such artists as Narada Michael Walden, David Valentin & Johnny Mathis)

Strike up the band  –  Chic (Nile Rodgers & Bernard Edwards were part of ‘New York City Band’ who were the touring musicians behind “New York City” – known for their hit “I’m doing fine” … the duo’s group is so named as a tribute to the stylised U.K avant-garde band ‘Roxy Music’)

Off the wall  –  Terry Hunter featuring Samantha (Not to be confused with the mega-hit album/single of the same name … this trak was released on Chicago’s Vinyl Soul Music – a subsidary of Music Plant Records)

Let him go  –  First Choice (The mistress turns up at the wife’s door asking to ‘let her husband Buddy go’ … the third album “Let us entertain you”, produced by Stan Watson and released on Philly Groove/Warner Brothers Records)

My feet keep dancing  –  Chic (The Great Disco Demolition Fire of  Chicago in ’79 where numbskulls decided to burn Disco records cause many radio stations & record labels to drop acts, this meant ‘Chic’ had lesser hits –  yet 30 years later Nile Rodgers & Chic are selling out world tours … Niles’s partner, the late Bernard Edwards feet is probably still ‘keep dancing’
Questions no answers  –  Skyy (Skyy were an eight piece band which featured three ‘Durning’ sisters – Denise, Dolores & Bonne, Solomon Roberts amongst others … assigned to Salsoul Records by their production company  named “Alligator Bit Him”)

This time  –  Michelle Sweeney (Released on Big Beat Records which became an imprint of Atlantic … written by Tony Green and remixed by Stonebridge & Nick Nice)
