1. What album (LP) cover with a Hot 100-#5 hit single in 1978 had the singer pictured with buildings in downtown Atlanta in the backround? She was on an interstate overpass.

2. In the early days of disco, Penny MacLean was the artist who performed, "Lady Bump." What smash hit a few years later was she the lead singer on in the group? What was the group name?

My answer for 1 is Alicia Bridges' debut album... but aside from one very overplayed song, there isn't much disco about it.

Correct:

Alicia Bridges-I Love the Nightlife. I haven't listened to any other song on the album since I bought it.

Penny MacLean was the lead singer in Fly Robin Fly and Get Up and Boogie. I listened to Lady Bump yesterday and even the strings sound similar to Silver Conventions big hits.

Isn't it interesting that many albums with a big disco hit will have most other songs in the non-disco genre? Ballads or AC type. I have been disappointed many times when I bought an LP with a disco hit and there was only one or no other true disco songs on the album.

Are you shitting me?!!! Penny McLean was the lead singer of Silver Convention?!!! Why are we just finding this out now? Or is it just me who was in the dark all these years? I always thought her voice was so clear and flawless until she let out that yell in "Lady Bump."

Did she also do that song that goes, "You've got me going again in boogie motion"? Listen to the srtings on that one. Again, it sounds like Silver Convention. By the way, were those real strings or synthesized?

:lol: :lol: Yes, she really was. And didn't the queens just love that little hook: "Look at meeee". :roll:

"Boogie Motion" by Beautiful Bend (a/k/a/ Boris Midney) had synthesized strings. The background vocals are credit to Xo-Xo. Don't know their names but I'm pretty sure Penny wasn't in the mix. :)
