    help me to identify 1982 disco track

    Please help, i'm desperately trying to find out a song which came out in 1981-1982, as a single which is sung by a woman with a high-pitched voice, has a fast disco (almost HI-NRG) beat and contains the words 1,2,3 and A,B,C. I don't have any other details i'm afraid, but if someone has heard this before, please let me know.

    Thanks!

    i just ordered a copy, thanks. I still have some doubts however, since i've read somewhere that the vocalist of this band is somone called Jacob Wheeler, whilst the singer on the song i'm looking for is definitely female. Also, are you sure that she mentions the words 1, 2, 3.... and a, b, c in the chorus? Sorry for being so insistent, it's just that i spent so much time trying to trace this track, that i need to be sure. thanks tasos

    Hmm..wasn't there a cover of the old Len Barry song "1-2-3" in the early 1980s?

    It goes "1-2-3, that's how elementary it's gonna be
    come on let's fall in love, it's easy, it's so easy. like taking candy from a baby

    " A-B-C , falling in love with you was easy for me..."

    Was it by Salazar? Right now, I can't recall if this was a male or a female vocal...but listen to a sample of Len Barry and see if that's the song.
    "Lost inside adorable illusion...."

    Yes, it was Salazar, with Lou Christie, whose falsetto was so high maybe he's the 'female' in this one. Good catch, marky, but I think it's PJB like Bernie said. I can't get to my copy but I think girls were doing the "1, 2, 3... A, B, C" chorus in that song.

    was this track by the peter jacques band released as a single in the UK on the rca label if you know?

    i can't find any sample of the song on the internet. can anyone send me a sample mp3 of the song? or at least the lyrics? the lyrics for the ken barry song you wrote, don't seem to match to what i;m looking for
