    Song called Double or Nothing

    Sung by a female vocal. Lyrics go something like: "you know that you're a winner. And you comfort me when I'm a beginner. Wondering when you will soothe me. Quiet the beast that moves me . . . you get double or nothing . . ."

    This sounds very familiar.

    I bet it's Lani Hall (Mrs. Herb Alpert) from her LP titled "Double Or Nothing" (1979/A&M).
    "Lost inside adorable illusion...."

    Marky, I purchased the Lani Hall version sometime ago and it wasn't it (Brazilian Jazz). After my post, I checked with a local used vinyl distributor. I must've gone through a few hundred dance/disco bins of records. Would you believe I came across a "disco" version of "Double or Nothing." Needless to say I now have both versions. I won't lie, I also picked up a few other 12" I've been looking for. Thanks for your reply

    Hmmm...so you're saying it was really Lani Hall---just a remixed 12" version of the LP cut, right?

    Cause I'm sure that's her one and only disco song--EVERYBODY had one in 1979.
