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

**discodjii** · November 12th, 2002, 12:17 PM

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"

discodjii,

Nope, gotta admit this one is an alien for all I knew.

**discodjii** · May 27th, 2003, 08:57 PM

Anybody out there have any ideas??? All answers will be gladly appreciated!!! Thanks 1&all.

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:

**discodjii** · June 1st, 2003, 01:56 PM

JA,

Thanks for the reply. You're right, I did post this on GEMM. One the responders lead me to this site. I'll give your suggestion a shot. Thanks again !!!!

JA, forgive me for re-posting this topic ("Flying High") but whenever I come to this site, I notice new members. Figured I try this again. In the meantime, my search goes on -- I know the answer(s) out there. Thanx 1&all!!!

Could Be FAZE-0 "Riding High".

**Bernie** · November 26th, 2003, 09:49 AM

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.

WELCOME ABOARD, gvtaylor. Nice to have you.

And the British invasion continues... :D

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!

**discodjii** · November 28th, 2003, 01:13 PM

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).

**discodjii** · January 24th, 2004, 08:14 PM

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!!!
