5) TRANQUILLO (MELT MY HEART) (Disco Mix) - Carly Simon
(this is due to Jeff's own cryptic lyric quiz...which stumped the board...someone said it had to be a Carole King song...finally the East Coast and a publishing house reference led me to Carly)

Hey Marky and Jeff,

I love this song by Carly Simon! Where I can find this Disco Mix version? I think the original version is included on "BOYS IN THE TREES", her 1978 album for Electra records. Another song by Carly I'm desperate looking for is SPY - do you remember this one?

Hi Zeca--

I found my copy of "Tranquillo" on eBay, and I've seen other copies turn up on eBay from time to time.

The copy I have is a white label promo, but I think the Disco Mix might have been issued only as a promo and not commercially.

I remember the LP "Spy," but if there's a 12-inch single I'm not aware of it. Could you possibly mean the song "Why?" the one she did with Chic in the early '80s...?

Hi Jeff,

thanx for the info about TRANQUILLO. I love this song and it's a shame that is somehow forgotten today. About SPY: no, it's not WHY, her collaboration with CHIC (another forgotten song, in my opinion). SPY is the title song of her 1979 album (this album has 2 more great songs, VENGEANCE and JUST LIKE YOU DO), and it has a great groove. I don't know if there's a 12" of SPY (if anybody here knows, please, please, please, darling please, share your knowledge with us).

Hey, I'm beginning to think that I'm the only one who's listening Carly's records these days (well, me and Janet Jackson, you know)! This is not fair!

Zeca,

Count me in the Carly fan club--Jeff, too--and Keefe, too!!!!

I've been disappointed with the recent CDs...BUT the old stuff is pretty terrific.

I even told Jeff how much I like Carly's "Torch" LP when we were shopping at Tower in SF; My fave is that haunting arrangement of "I Get Along Without You Very Well".

But then I once wrote here about how I loved the singer/songwriters of the 1970's so much...it took me a long time to really embrace Disco--at least to BUY it. I had too many faves to buy and as a minimum wage earning studio apartment dwelling single guy in SF in 1975--I had to have the latest Elton John, James Taylor, Linda Ronstadt, Joni Mitchell, Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Browne, Carole King, Laura Nyro, Paul Simon AND Carly Simon, etc LPs...and didn't have much spare change left to buy Disco Tex & The Sex-o-lettes!!!! :lol:

That all changed with time!!! :grin:

Hey Marky,

well, you're probably a child of EARLY 70's just like me (LOL). We, children of the early 70's, cannot live without THOM BELL's ballads, singers/songwriters LPs. We can't live without LAURA LEE, HONEY CONE, early DIANA ROSS solo career, WHAT'S GOING ON & LET'S GET IT ON, STEVIE WONDER, THE CHI-LITES, THE DRAMATICS, THE STYLISTICS... Can we? What about BREAD? And THE CARPENTERS? I think we're getting old, baby (LOL 3 times).

You know you're getting old when you began to think "well, Eric Clapton's mid-seventies records were not THAT bad after all" (LOL)

Peace, Marky

from an early 70's child to another,
