Lenny Williams or Double Exposure? Which?

Party People,

Yooooou! Yoooooou! You! You! You!

Loving You! and Needing You was my mistake!

(betcha you won't make that same mistake again!)

THIS IS PRETTY MUCH ALL THE SONG REPEATEDLY SAYS.


It's Fast and Good Classic Disco reminiscent of the Salsoul Orchestra's first album or Brazil by The Ritchie Family.

Sounds VERY MUCH like Lenny Williams. Is it him?

Although!.......... the vocals could pass for the lead singer in Double Exposure. It has that Philly Sound in every which way. Violins, horns, sax solo, percussion, the full orchestra za za zoo.

anything gize?
thanks, Kev

I think it's the Chi-lites 'My First Mistake' sampled by David Morales on 'Needin You'. Incidentally there's another string sample on 'Needin'you' that isn't the Chi-lites...anyone know what it is?

Phyllis,

Thanks again for the post. No, you're right. I would've never went with The Chi-Lites. Doesn't sound anything like them!

But I do notice that it mentions Phil Hurtt as co-writer --who is very much connected with The Salsoul Orchestra. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if this album is produced by Vince Montana, Norman Harris, Bobby Eli and Co.

That Philly Sound is hard to miss! That's probably that John Davis wailing on that saxophone solo. Thems wuz the daze eh?

thanks for your help!

The album was produced by Richie Rome, the guy who the Ritchie Family was named after. I don't think he had any particular group he produced all the way through the 70s. He seemed to do little projects here and there, like the Stanley Turrentine album 'What About You'.

Disco Funk,

Hey, thanks for the info! I gotta look out for this guy's material. Richie Rome hey?

The Ritchie Family wuz a pretty good guess then. I really wish they would've made a bigger impact on the disco scene. Still, I loved them all the same. Love that big orchestration thing of yesterday. Too bad it's gone.

I mean, today's music even has me pining for music of the 40's! Guys playing real instruments. Not one guy in the studio (or his room, or garage) with a keyboard and a lot of buttons that can simulate every instrument you want.

thanks again!,
Kev

I hear ya. The music today is too synthetic. I do like the occasional, but nothing beats a full funky band and orchestra.
