The greatest contribution made by a country to Disco !

[Fantomas]

I saw a couple of Chocolat's albums released in Israel. It was late 90's and with the same old songs from their earlier albums.

The Chocolat's, I know for a fact are not Israeli and their music go back to the early 70's.

Hi Henry,



I'm a little bit worried about your favorite Koto... I've never heard of him. Did I loose something good? Please tell me which period he is from.

[Masdefi]

I would like to give my idea on the matter, but as Italian I couldn't say something different from Move2this' opinion! We all can affirm that Italian Disco was exploding after 1978, when US disco was already a reality. Therefore let's say that I agree about "birth place" of Disco, but we all have to recognize the Italian creativity to develop the idea. Why does other European countries did not perform the same huge quantity of hits as Italy did? I mean Spain, France, Deutchland, Holland and so on. By saying this I mean Italy reached the no.2 position in European Disco Producer behind UK, and also nowadays this is confirmed (even if France is growing day by day). Do you agree?

Claudja Barry is actually Canadian, although her producer at the time was German.

Canada, but the Sound is Munich-based like

Sirius,



what do you think about "Love for the sake of love"?. In Italy had a big success.

[sirius]

"Love For The Sake Of Love" is a wonderful

Midtempo-Track with lots of erotic and

passionate strings inside. I love this song

and played it several times. The greatest

hit of her nowadays at Disco-Heaven is

"I will follow him", "I wanna be loved by

you" and sometimes "boogie woogie dancin´

shoes"...my personal favortie is "sweet

dynamite", which is very energetic and

dramatic... I would like to recommend you

the LP"Disco Mixes" from the year 1980 and

the Compilation "The Best Of Claudja Barry"

...released in 1991. Another question: Do

you like Roberta Kelly and what about the

great Amanda Lear. Amanda was the Euro-

DiscoQueen in the 70ies and the biggest

competition to US-Donna-Summer.

I remember "Love for the sake of love" was mixed with "Body to Body Boogie" by ORS, I think Giovanni could remember during 1978...

I like Roberta Kelly even if she's not included into my favourite list.

What about Amanda Lear? Never known the real sex... Probably she had some success abroad Italy. I think we cannot compare Amanda with Donna, please.....!!!!

[sirius]

Sorry! But in Europe AMANDA LEAR was the

greatest competition to DONNA SUMMER...

AMANDA began with the song "La Bagarre" in

1976, which became a big Hit in France. Then

"Blood And Honey", "Queen Of China-Town",

"Follow Me", "Fashion Pack(Studio 54)", etc.

Amanda was the Euro-Disco-Queen, with lots

of mystical lyrics...she left Germany about

1980 and lived then in Italy. Now she lives

in France. Amanda Lear was a transsexual,

because the most known transsexual Lady ROMY

HAAG said it in her book. But be sure, that

DONNA is my all-time-favorite! I know, that

AMANDA wasn´t such a big succes in the US...

but EUROPE was a little bit different.

Anthony Monn, her yesterday´s producer was

also responsible for Orlando Riva Sound and

then the later HI-NRG-based Fancy("Slice Me

Nice", "Chinese Eyes")...
