Marta Acuna: Dance, Dance, Dance


Here is a dreamy classic disco that keeps on giving.  This is the perfect tune to close out an evening of hot summer dancing.  This song was released on P&P records in 1977 and it was produced by the legendary Patrick Adams and it is considered one of his best and most rarest pressing and it was ahead of its time when it was released.  The vocals are by Marta Acuna and unfortunately very little is known about her.   On the other hand, Mr. Adams is a producer, arranger and songwriter. His career spans more than 30 years. He has worked with the likes Sister Sledge, Loleatta Holloway, Bumblebee Unlimited, Universal Robot Band,  Narada Michael Walden and Musique. Among the many, one of Adams's best known recordings is Inner Life's "I'm Caught Up (In a One Night Love Affair)".  His contribution and to Disco and dance music is unparalleled and truly unique.  Enjoy

We're Lost In Music

It's middle of the week and all I can think about is being lost in music. There is nothing better than to travel or escape with such wonderful medium. Especially during those hard long days when you feel like quiting your "9 to 5" and get "Lost In Music! Here is one of my favorite and classiest  LPs from of the more commercial side of disco. The 1979 platinum, We Are Family by none other than the fantastic Sister Sledge. Formed in 1972, these sisters arrived at the perfect time and made a huge mark on the disco scene. Kim, Debbie, Joni and Kathy Sledge are the granddaughters of the former opera singer Viola Williams. They used to perform under the name of 'Mrs. Williams' Grandchildren'.  Anyway, I'm loving the frantic message of "Lost In Music" and never get tire of listening. Here is an amazing rework by The Revenge. The way this remix anticipates the insanity, picks it up and then comes crashing on full blast makes one feels like a riding wave of disco hysteria; however, nothing can compare to the fabulously original "long version". Both are here for your enjoyment and entertainment so let's get lost in music now.
