DC LaRue track question

**Jimmy-Michaels** · March 3rd, 2003, 04:42 PM

Can anyone tell me where "You Can Always Tell A Lady" was from? A friend of mine last night was pulling all the DC LaRue LPs he had and none of them had it on it. Was it a 12" only release? Any info would help cause I been after this track for years and years and havent found it anywhere yet.

Hi DJ JM,

I don't remember this song at all. What's it like --- club or camp?

**Jimmy-Michaels** · March 5th, 2003, 01:07 AM

Imagine "Boogie Fever" by The Sylvers with a heavier beat and kinda campy with a touch of club. The song was in the Thank God Its Friday film but didnt go on the soundtrack.

PS Does someone know? I neeeeeeeeeeeed this song

I've asked this question before here, but why are so many great tracks that are featured in the film TGIF not on the soundtrack LP?

That only makes me wish Casablanca put out a "sequel" LP to TGIF, kind of like the time "More Dirty Dancing" was released after the success of the first one. There were many good tracks in TGIF that weren't put on the album. Aside from D.C. LaRue's track, there was also Thelma Houston's "I'm Here Again" and Originals' "Down To Love Town".

"You Can Always Tell A Lady" is a little on the corny side, but catchy nevertheless.

& also 'Romeo & Juliet' by Alec Costandinos & 'From Here To Eternity' by Giorgio Moroder. Yes, that 2nd soundtrack idea would've been good.

**Jimmy-Michaels** · March 10th, 2003, 04:58 AM

I have wanted to compile a 2nd sndtrk for the film but I need the DC Larue track to do it LOL, I have every other song..does anyone know where the DC Larue track is off of? Pleassssssssse someone hellllllllllllllp

Here also is the listing I have had for the tracks not on the soundtrack..let me know if im missing any besides Larue:

From Here To Eternity - Giorgio
Romeo And Juliet - Alec R Costandinos
It's Serious - Cameo
I Am What I Am - Village People
Hollywood - Village People
Let's Make A Deal - GC Cameron And Syreeta
Brick House - Comodores
Easy - Commodores
Love To Love You Baby - Donna Summer
Down To Love Town - The Originals
Im Here Again - Thelma Houston
Meco's Theme - Meco

now i need DC Larue and I beleve I have them all :cry:

Also while were on the topic of the TGIF LP, they put edited versions of many tracks on it so, why not instead of waisting a whole record by putting 17 mins of "Je'Tamme" and then a blank side, put like a 3 min edit of that and then at least some edits of most of the other tracks ya know?

You're so right about that. I think the people at Casablanca (or motown) must've been on some weird drugs or something.

Gee, do you really think the staff at Casablanca were (gasp) taking drugs?!! :o

Oh no, say it isn't so!!

Ya know the pop ups on this site have become very very annoying :evil: what happened to the good ol days of no pop ups on here? Anyway, question on hand..is it that this DC Larue track is unknown where to be found? Doesnt anyone know? :cry: I know it was pressed on something cause I've heard it in full at the club I used to go to...just where was it on so I can hunt it down and buy it lol.

If youre still there DJ Jimmy, I dug out my UK 12" copy of D.C.LaRue's 'Let Them Dance' & what was on the b-side? Non other than 'You Can Always Tell a Lady (by the company she keeps)! :o I'd totally forgotten that this was a b-side in my collection :oops:
Youre right, on listening to it for the 1st time in ages, its corny but very catchy & camp! So this is what you need to be looking for; I dont know whether this was only on the UK pressing or not; maybe someone here may know the answer to this one. Good luck in your search for it!

**NickNack** · March 17th, 2003, 02:37 PM

The Casablanca US promo I have of "Let Them Dance" is their standard one-sided issue.

**Jimmy-Michaels** · March 17th, 2003, 04:42 PM

Thank you very very very much :D . Thats gonna be hard as hell to find an import 12" but, I will be at least knowing where to start looking now. Again, thanx much!

If SteelyDan's UK version is on the PYE label, then GEMM has quite a few up for grabs --- reasonable prices, too.

I hope you're not the guy who won't shop on GEMM. I remember someone saying that not too long ago.

**Jimmy-Michaels** · March 17th, 2003, 09:07 PM

That was me but I gave it a second shot and made out good getting the THP "Early Riser" Canadian LP. So yea id shop GEMM again. Just I need conformation its the right record with that song on it.

DJ Jimmy M

**SandraDee** · March 18th, 2003, 01:03 PM

I can confirm that my copy is on Pye records Jimmy, so its the one Nicky says is available on Gemm.

**Jimmy-Michaels** · March 18th, 2003, 08:10 PM

Grrrrrrrrrrr :evil: These god damn pop ups are a pain in the fucking ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why doesnt Bernie do something about it???????? Cant even type a message. Anyway..lol, yes I asked the seller before I seen your post and thats whats on the B side. So thank you very very very much for all you guy's help in locating this rare track. Much apreciated. I will be ordering it from Gemm.
