    A dance song with the words "Flying High" in/aroun

    Any takers??? I'm not exactly sure of the lyrics but if anyone out there has even the slightest idea - pls let me know. The lyrics might also be "riding high" in place of "flying high" and towards the middle of the mix, a seductive, female voice would say "take me" afterwhich the mix would go into a solo flute/sax mix. Thanx 1 & all !!!

    Sorry Bernie, I just have to ask again.

    from what I can remember the lyrics went something like this:

    "flying high, get it cool, get it up, you'll be known, let the way that you give, nice and slow . . . "

    The mix lasted about 20 minutes. It had lots of congas, strings, synthesizers, etc. Almost sounded like a Boris Midney or Alec R. Constantinos tune. The vocals were definitely female.

    Hi discodjii,

    My other song search is for "Fantasy Feeling" - any ideas??? Thank you one & all ! ! ! !
    Well, I ran a search on GEMM, going on the single detail you've provided and it would seem the performer was Tschai Prender; it's available both as LP and 12" Single. :-? Hope this helps you.

    JA

    I also checked GEMM. Unfortunately the seller is unable to verify whether this is a disco/dance tune. Worst comes to worse, I'll sacrifice a few dollars to order the LP.

    P.S. Ever hear of Tschai Prender in disco/dance music????

    I ran a google search on Tschai Prender and it seems he also made a track in 1981 named "Hot Feat"

    Let me see! :)

    You posted this query also on GEMM, have gotten there 2 tangiable leads... I take it you've read those replies but they weren't on the money... :o

    I suggest you either search on Google (requires lots of patience & time) or try getting in touch with prominent disco figures from the greater NYC area + Long Island disco scene of the 70's (top mixers, record pool owners, leading DJ's). I for one reckon that if you haven't found the answer thus far, you won't find it on this site. You certainly have your work cut out for you! :roll:

    Looking at this post again I was wondering if this couldn't be Janis Ian's "Fly Too High?" Just played the track, but the lyrics don't seem to match. It's a really nice Giorgio Moroder production.

    Thanks for the warm welcome NickNack. I have been looking at the website for the last couple of weeks, only got round to the forum yesterday (slow, or what!) :roll:
    Checked the Faze-0, don't think it's this track, as it's not long enough and does not fit the description given!

    JV and Bernie, thanks for looking out. I checked FAZE-O and Janis Ian. FAZE-O is more funk oriented and Ian to be folk/jazz.

    I can tell you this, the "Flying High," I am looking for was played by WBLS' Frankie Crocker Show. It's the only time I heard it. The other was on a friend's 8-Track mixtape he had that was recorded while in Germany. Unfortunately Mr. Crocker passed away. If there were a possibility of obtaining his record lists for 1977/78 (and 79) from BLS - I'd go for it. I've emailed BLS many atimes and never receive a response. As for my friend's recording, that is long gone and he has no recollection where he obtained or who made the mixtape recording. . . sucks. :evil:

    And the search continues. Thanks one&all!!!

    SILVER CONVENTION - FLY ROBIN FLY

    Rebel, thanks for the response. "Fly Robin Fly" got plenty of airplay in its day. Unfortunately the "Flying High" I am looking for did not. From my recollection, I think the repeated lyrics were "Flying High" but it could've been "Riding High." And I'm talking about a cut that came out amost 30 years ago (give or take 3 or 4 years).

    Just resurrecting this question. Someone suggested Aquarium Dreams. Unfortunately, I don't have any of this group's music. I was able to get a couple of clips here & there. Sounds like there a similarity in style. Anybody out there have any ideas whether the lyrics match any the groups songs, etc???

    Thanks 1&all!!!
