The First Time I Heard This, I Was At A Club In The Ocean View Section Of Norfolk, VA Called Mingles. I Was In The Navy At That Time Aboard The USS Dwight D Eisenhower (CVN-69), And When The DJ Put It On, He Announced: "Here's Something New From NYC", And The Crowd Loved It! I Ran To The Record Store The Next Day, And Bought Two 12 Inch Copies! 🎧

BY the early 80's DISCO music was coming to an early exit.. giving way and branching into HOUSE music, , it was coming in STRONG. Using electronic drums and synthesizers taking the place of real strings and orchestral musicians, , it was New and you could accomplished lots of different sounds and create lots more using less.. but the DISCO flavors where still there and very active, , DISCO never died, it just expanded into a lot of different and more heavier sounds....

She performed in a club called Hollywood, in Eindhoven, Netherlands. I was standing next to the stage, within half a meter of her. While she was singing, she looked at me. It felt special ...
