Default When the fuel runs out & Helplessly

These are 2 of my favorite songs. i only have the memories i have in my head. i dont own a cassette or cd. Sometimes i think i will start listening, but then i get afraid that it will drive me completely crazy. (Does that sound stupid?) Also the song 10%. Who is the artist? i used to get old disco tapes at the car wash, believe or not, but i havent seen them around. This is my passion. :D :P 8) P.S. " I'm gonna let my heart do the walking" Any clues? Thankx

When The Fuel Runs Out is Executive Suite. Helplessly could be Wayne Miranda, though there are probably quite a few songs called Helplessly.

Helplessly has to be Moment of Truth, surely. One of the best of the early disco soul stompers. GREAT record. Loved the fierce attack of the drumming and the vocals.

Ten Percent is by Double Exposure

Chuck Jackson also recorded 'When The Fuel Runs Out'.

Are you serious about the artist for " I'm Gonna Let My Heart Do The Walking"? or is that a quip? :o

Anyway, it was by The Supremes (w/out Miss Ross)--their last hit single.

"Helplessly" is currently in the Top 10 of the Billboard charts I'm posting here weekly (I'm up to 4/19/75)...Check the "Discuss Disco Music" section.

"When the Fuel Runs Out" is on the Super Rare Disco 2 CD.

"Helplessly" & "Ten Percent" are on several Salsoul compilations & "I'm Gonna Let My Heart Do the Walking" is easily found on a Supremes Greatest Hits compilation.
