    I didn't realize these guys were white, and had doo-wop roots. They sounded 'old' on those late 70s disco records, but they also sounded black!

    They also did a remake of The Trammps Love Epidemic. A good attempt, although the original is the best! :)

    Hi DF !!

    here they are again ..... in 1975 doing a disco who's who :



    & interesting that you mentioned they were white ..... I think the only non-black act mentioned in this song is Disco Tex .......
