[discodisco]

IT WAS 79' I WAS LIVING IN MIAMI...A BIG DISCO CONVENTION WAS GOING ON AT THIS BIG TIME HOTEL...WHICH I CAN'T REMEMBER THE NAME...AND THIS RECORD CAME OUT.THE TITLE TRACK WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT GOT ANY KIND OF AIRPLAY.ANY ONE ELSE OUT THERE THAT LIKES THIS ONE? I THOUGHT IT WAS PRETTY SLAMMIN' THEN... I STILL THINK IT IS... :lol:

I just borrowed Elton's "Victim of Love" CD from the public library yesterday. I'm not really very familiar with Elton's other work so I can't compare it to his others, but I don't think it's quite as bad as people say it is. It's hilarious coming across all the universally awful reviews of this album. Not a great album perhaps, the cover of "Johnny B. Goode" falls flat, but I like the title track too as well as "Warm Love in a Cold World" and "Thunder In The Night," even if it is funny hearing him sing about how "his woman says she ain't his woman" on that one.. :P

Still, I think Pete Bellotte's production style fared much better on Melba Moore's "Burn" album from the same year as opposed to this one..

Ya this kind amade me wonder about Pete Belotte as a solo producer. Elton wasn't a big enough name for Moroder to help? ;)

I liek Thu8nder in the Night but that's about it
