Leo Sayer "Thunder in my heart"

**54 Addict** · November 12th, 2005, 03:06 PM

I just discover this track and I really love it! What a catchy chorus! Do you know other song in the same spirit with catchy chorus?

Thanks

Well, clearly not much fans of Leo Sayer here...!!
He isn't realy Disco, so that maybe the reason why...!!

I had a disscusion a few months back on this track and said that it was disco. I reached the UK chart top 30 in 1977 when disco was being outed by all artists. I like it and it needs a good 12" edit. Never saw a long version though.

Sounds like a Disco tune to me. Perhaps Disco-Pop or Disco-Rock, but definitely dancefloor/disco. What's your definition of 'Disco'?

Disco Funk

It's a pop song that came out in the Disco era.
My defenition of Disco?
Well, it has to have a connection to New York City someway, it has to be from the Seventies, it shouldn't be on any top 10-30-40-100 or whatever, it should be somewhat underground, rare, no synthesizers, etc, etc....( and of course you can't sit still when hearing it...!!)

**djsonic** · November 13th, 2005, 02:28 PM

It is disco fellas!
i have the 12 mix on WB records and its fab!
when u play the 12 just speed up the tempo a bit, the crowd loves it.

**Davicillo** · November 13th, 2005, 02:34 PM

Nice one DJ Sonic. By the way, where d'ya get the 12"?

**djsonic** · November 13th, 2005, 02:39 PM

it was in a box of old disco singles i got from a friend years ago... it's still in my curent playlist and all my friends love it.

i heared that there was a video for it, but never saw it.

I remember him very well, he looks, sings and act on stage like a clown, to me, I'm sorry, nothing Disco at all..!!

Skywalker: Man...You got problems.

Play this record with some other Disco toons to someone who doesn't know any disco whatsoever and they'd be hard pushed to put it into the non disco pile. It is far better than some of the grunge that came out of Noo Yawk Citeee in the name of Disco, especially around '76 and '77.

Well that rules out about half of the disco songs from the 70's in your books, including the AVI label music.

**Skywalker** · November 14th, 2005, 08:59 AM

I heat they make beautiful Disco in Rusia too....
Poetin still dances on it....!! :D

**54 Addict** · November 14th, 2005, 10:54 AM

I'm happy to read that some of you like this beautiful song.
If you all know songs with the same spirit let me know them.

**Skywalker** · November 14th, 2005, 11:49 AM

And don't forget The Peoples Republic of China, there is some realy good music from the seventies/eighties there!
DJ's play it, people dance to it, and it has the right BPM, so it's Disco right?
This Forum is fantastic, I learn everyday...!! :D :D :D

Have fun Skywalker....but you know full well your original post pertaining to what is and what isn't Disco, was pretty ridiculous. So, none of Solar records was Disco, none of TK records, none from Philly, or a hundred other places that weren't Noo Yawk. Not even the abominable Alec Costandinos or Cerrone or Boris Midney would be in your disco book.
Hey, wait a minute, you might have a point with those last three. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Yeah, stick around, you might broaden your horizons and change your mind.

**markydefad** · November 14th, 2005, 02:01 PM

I recently listened to the 12" mix of this tune....I only had the LP version. It went to #30 on the Disco charts in late 1977-early 1978.

I think Leo screams too much in this tune. His vocal grates on my one last nerve. :P :x :roll:

**markydefad** · November 14th, 2005, 03:10 PM

There are some photos of Leo in full clown regalia; I don't recall if this was just for a photo shoot or what...but I think he even had a painted teardrop on his face and a was wearing a clown suit. :roll:

That's not Leo Sayer, that's one of the members of Kiss, wich is a great Disco band of course.....

**Andy Farley** · November 14th, 2005, 05:19 PM

Skywalker: The words, petulant, truculent, sarcastic and spoilt kid come to mind. Keep it up if you wanna....it might develop into something vaguely amusing. :roll:
