Unknown instrumental disco track ~1979

[groefed]

This is an instrumental disco track with a sax player from 1979.
Some words are sung at the end, but they offer no clue to me.

A sample of the song can be found here:

I like the pinball machine sound samples, I believe they are from "Playboy" Playboy Pinball By Bally of 1978 at www.pinballrebel.com

Pretty perfunctory in my book which sounds kinda Library music to my ears. I'm probably wrong.....of course!

I think I am hearing some MTL EXPRESS video pakman sounds in there....maybe???
MTL Express - Montreal Express

Definitely not MTL Express as I have a copy of that LP. No idea what it is, but yes, it needs to be discovered!

I'm with Disco1999 on this ...... sounds like the Playboy's Theme music.

After some searching, I'm more and more convinced this is a remake of the "Playboy's Theme", originally composed by Cy Coleman in the 50's. Similar version was used for Playboy's "After Dark", in the 80's when The Playboy Channel was launched on cable-TV.
Some websites hint that the track had also been known as "Pinball Playboy", but I didn't have any luck searching.

I didn't find a sample but
it could be: "Cook County - Pinball Playboy" on Motown records 1979

some guy from NJ is selling it on ebay

Cook County "Pinball Playboy" LP on Motown 1979 - (item 250147743087 end time Aug-02-07 17:48:43 PDT)

several copies available also on gemm

another reference on Discogs: Cook County - Pinball Playboy (Playboy Theme) / Reach Out For Love

Nice work disco1999. I'd bet that is the right version. There's a couple more on ebay.

Thanks a lot for the hints on Cook County, especially
disco1999 and Prof.Factor. I have ordered the lp to
check it out. It will confirm once it receive it!

Today I received the Cook County lp Pinball Playboy from 1979,
and I can confirm 100% the track indeed is Pinball Playboy (Playboy
Theme) by C. Coleman and C. Leigh (lp produced by Vic Caesar).
The rest of the lp is okay, but this track is the standout IMHO.

Thanks again for your help!!! I will keep the sample for another week
on my homepage for those still interested in it.
