Disco Strange

We've all seen Bernie's "Unlikely Disco Artists" list. This is where this one belongs. Maybe he'll add it after one of you experts :roll: tells us who and what it is. :)

The year is 1979, the label is Mercury and one of the two producers is Maurice Gibb.

-.-.-, oh my, oh, it's gonna rain.

To the heart of my soul,
To the heart of my soul.

You won't, you can't, tear me (?down?).
I could, I would, love so strong.
You said you love, that's a lie.
Oh why, oh why, what a way to die.

-,-,-, feel the fire and the pain...

Good luck. If you know this, you're either a dj who remembers his promos or someone who was hangin' out waaay toooo much.

No takers yet? Here's another hint:

Back in the day, when this group was in competition with the J-5, Rolling Stone magazine referred to them as "little white-capped demons" missing something called 'Soul'. :)

This is a wild guess, but could it be the Osmonds?

Your wild guess is the right guess. Who else has teeth like that? :lol: No clue on the song, eh? Well, I'll give ya the album title and maybe someone'll fess up :P and tell us they know this song.

STEPPIN' OUT by Osmonds (the "The" is missing in their name). Like I said, 1979, most people's pick for the best year in disco. Does this count? :o

Well NRG, no need to keep you or anyone lingering. The song is "I, I, I" by Osmonds. I know a lot of you are going Aye, aye, aye :x . To be fair, it's not a horrid, little MOR song as you might think. Running a little over 4 minutes, the electronic bass line is rather nice. The strings are limited but nicely used. And, when they get to the bridge, it goes 'rockish', attempting to add a little edge. It could have used a better mix as there is no break and what you read earlier in the game just about sums up the lyric content. Still, I'd put this on a playlist way ahead of some of the other trash we had out there.
