Hi Ms. Jiani

Back in the day I recall the most important thing about Disco was, that all anyone cared about was "the music and dancing" the one common thing that brought people from all walks of life rich, poor, diff ethnicities was the music and the desire to dance.

Fast forward, do you feel that the industry today has any of those elements in it at all, or has greed taken over?

Thank you in advance for your time.

Luis

Which came first your version of "Vanity" or Barbara Pennington's?
Both were Ian Levine Produced?
Is there a story here?

If you had ever made it to The Saint, they would have asked you to sing "Mercy".
None of your other songs made us dance there more than "Mercy".

Hi Carol and all forum members:

This is Ricardo Hessel from Brazil.

Just one question and maybe many answers. Besides you (of course!!) which is your favorite male singer, female singer and group from the disco era.

Thanks and hope to hear from you soon.

Cheers,

Hessel

HIT AND RUN LOVER ....as you were in the studio making it ....was it apparent to you all that it was a monster song in the making ? Was extra effort put into it toward making it such ? How much studio time did it take ?
