Chic ~ I Want Your Love 1978 Disco Purrfection Version

If you are interested in purchasing digital download make sure to THUMBS UP! If I am prove a viable interest it would help my case to get this digital. I also have thought about this for Side A of a vinyl 12 single. Side B Spinners I'll Be Around. I think it would do really well. Anyway you can leave helpful comments. This thumbs up thing goes for everything on this channel. Big action means getting you closer to having your own vinyl or digital music you love from an online service.

It's been 40 years since when this was #1 on the Disco chart for 7 weeks starting the week ending November 25, up to December 30, 1978 when the combo of Le Freak", "Chic Cheer" and "I Want Your Love" ruled the clubs. A seriously funky disco song with a groove that never ends, it doesn't build and break like the anthemic "Le Freak" but has this hypnotizing mix of polyrhythms that intoxicate, hypnotize and invigorate.

I hope you like this new extended remix, I really enjoyed putting this one together...the fabulous and famous Chic string section open this sinuously sexy song remix of want and need, something we can all relate to. I love the strings in this one, so beautifully produced and performed by three women who are Cheryl Hong, Karen Milne and Marianne Carroll. They played on every Chic project starting with 1978's "C'est Chic" all the way to "Real People" in 1980, Sheila & B Devotion's "Spacer" and on Johnny Mathis' stillborn Chic produced "I Love My Lady" that finally saw official release in 2019.

The new style the boys used for Johnny Mathis was more subdued and perfect for the time, but Mathis' manager and label felt that it did not advance his career and that he was barely recognizable. I think that it would have been a hit, revitalizing Johnny's career and the remixes would have been out of this world had they gone ahead with the project back in 1980. Promo versions on vinyl made their way to some DJ's, notably Tee Scott who famously played some of the tracks on his radio show and then bootlegs were being passed around the internet for years. There even was a website that had some of the tracks uploaded so you could listen to them and they finally got all the tracks up there some time ago, a few years before the official release of a few songs from "I Love My Lady" that made its appearance on Nile Rodgers Presents The Chic Organization* - Box Set Vol. 1 / "Savoir Faire" in 2010. I for one would still love to hear the demo for "Le Freak" with all its expletive deleted glory.

I retired a few years back. I welded in the Texas heat for 35 years. The last 30 for the same company. I stayed at the last company so long because we were allowed to have an ipod to help us take our minds off the Texas heat and cold winters. This music is what got me through everyday. People would ask me" How can you smile and be so happy in this scorching heat🥵?? My magic was this music along with the memories that came with them. My mind would take me back to where I was and what I was doing when I used to hear that particular song. My mind would be on the memories not the heat. I will leave this earth with this music in my ❤️🎶🎵🤗

In my era, we danced our hearts out.
Chic still has class.

Over 40 years later and it still make you move your soul.

Disco music from the good old days. We are in 2022 and it still sounds like today. It does not lose validity or go out of style. The magic of the seventies.

[pattypark]

[DeidraWiley]

[Areflection]

it was a time of mental freedom: poverty was rife but with music like this the poverty was bearable.

[bernlin]

A song that cries out for an extended version, and this truly delivers spectacularly!!! Disco NEVER died

[ricardoguadalupe]

I was 18 . And at 61, it still is a great song performed by one of greatest group ever graced God's green earth. Bushwick Brooklyn !

[johnzeller]

I just hit 77 and this song is just as great as it was when I was 35

[bigsteve]

It's something about the string arrangement in this song that puts this song in another level. Yes, the bass drives you and the Rhythm Guitar is making you move your feet. But the strings hit your soul

I was 10 and still remember exactly the times back then, hanging out with the other kids in my neighbourhood. Times were much simpler, genuine and free back then. No social media, mobile phones or dating apps lol. Miss those days!
