My question is if anyone could tell me how much I'd like this--I'm much more a disco fan than a funk or soul fan. The only Brooklyn Dreams songs I know are Music, Harmony and Rhythm 12", which I like but find a bit "soft" for my tastes, and the reverse voice version of Heaven Knows which isn't on this album...

I was going to post a similar question. I'm curious about it but don't know if i'd like it that much. The only track i 've heard is 'music, harmony & rhythm' and i find it just 'ok'. Can anyone let us know what the rest of the album is like?

Well, I just bought this album, it was suggested to me by amazon.co.uk, because I buy a lot of Disco/Soul albums from them.
Anyway, I didn't know this band at all, but just gave it a try .
I'm not disappointed at all, the album has a real "American" sound, but as a non American, don´t ask me to define it...
After listening to this album, I know now where Hall and Oates, The Avarage White Band , Michael Mc. Donald ( Doobey Brothers) etc. got their inspiration from...!!
It maybe not exactly Disco, but most songs are absolutely danceble, the CD even has three 12 inch versions of different songs as a bonus.
It seems Donna Summer is in the back choir on some songs, she was ( is?) married to one of the band members.
Maybe someone else has more info about this band, as I don´t know them at all.

Yeah, Donna married (and is still married to) Bruce Sudano from the group. Joe Esposito from the band (he sings Heaven Knows with Donna) did an album with Giorgio Moroder in theearly 80s (one of the songs from it, the ballad Lady Lady Lady was included in Flashdance).
