| Unknowingly Norman Connors invited two great disco female singers to sing on his "Your Are My Starship" LP: Phyllis Hyman ("Dont Stop The Train" etc) and Sharon Redd ("In The Name Of Love" etc). The "You Are My Starship" staff: Phyllis Hyman (vocalist), Sharon Redd (background vocals), Maretha Stewart (background vocals), Tasha Thomas (background vocals) and Michael Henderson (vocalist). In the same year - 1976 - Buddah Records released "More,More,More" by Andrea True Connection. baby yeah :D :D :D |

| "Baby, oh yeah - won't ya take me tonight!" - I loved that song! It was kinda like the Floaters' "Float On" - weird, but nice. How about Norman Connors' "Once I've Been There"? I heard that one last week and boy that took me back. I don't recall exactly when it came out though, so it didn't take me too far! It was another one of those songs I really liked that I forgot about. |

| They may not be 'disco' vocalists, per se, although they dabbled - but let's not forget the great Dee Dee Bridgewater (from Connors' jazzier days) and the wonderful Eleanor Mills, who sadly passed away just after her comeback 12" for the reactivated West End in the early '90s. Her performance on Connors' 'Wouldn't You Like To See' takes me to heaven. Music for the soul - and then some. :D |

| Did Phyllis Hyman cover "Dont Stop The Train"? I have versions by Phyllis Nelson and Viola Wills, but didn't know of another... |

| I have to agree You Are My Starship is a smash ballad.... I've never gotten tired of it... it's simply timeless. |

| Silly Norman Conners made a big mistake not doing a version of "Don't stop the train" with Hyman when he had the chance. The more versions of that song we have the better this world would be. I'd like to hear a faster rockier version by someone like Nickleback. I also think 50 Cent could do an intersting urban take on this wonderful song!

| I think that Westlife or Macy Gray should do 'Dont Stop The Train' also; it would take their careers to new heights, or is that depths darlings? :-?

| I'd sure part with MY copy for 200 bucks! The album has one of my favorite instrumentals of all time, the beautiful, flowing "Bubbles". And by the way, I HAVE seen it on CD, just not very often. |
