YOUR THOUGHTS & COMMENTS
I love that track.While playing disco parties,i sometimes put it in and people love it.It was also used for Tribe Called Quest Bonita Applebaum
I love "Why?" also but it's hardly disco. Teddy Pendergrass also did a wonderful song called "Dream Girl" on the same soundtrack..
I love "why" but it is a sophisticated synth pop tune with an oberheim dmx drum machine.
it was a large hit here in the uk more ragga influence in there with digital synths etc...
great track.
that track was huge at a club called Berwick Manor in the early 90's when they played Rave.
UNLIKELY ARTIST, in her day, a TOTAL FOX!!
