    I pulled this record a while back and finally listened to this 'Disco' track that pops up so often here in the forums, the only track I remember playing off this mini LP is "Hello Rio", apparently I completely missed this "Disco" cut BITD 'cause it doesn't ring any bells for me....... :oops: was this song really a big hit?

    It was really big in England during 1980, and their follow-up "Hands Up" did well too the next year.

    No one did Marky, but I have to agree with you. This was Disco at its commercial worst. Can ya see why I hated the words Euro & Disco when thay became one? :lol: :lol: :lol:

    Hi QUINNY
    Although Eurodisco era isn t my best I have to say that sometimes gave us some great tracks like "Rough diamond" by Madleen Kane or some of Georgio Moroder productions.

    Sandee's right. :D

    from AMG:

    Despite its Canadian-sounding name, the disco duet Ottawan, comprised of two Caribbean-born singers Jean Patrick (born on April 6, 1954) and Annette (born on November 1, 1958), was a brainchild of the French producer team Daniel Vangarde and Jean Kluger. Vangarde who also worked with Dalida, the Gibson Brothers and Sheila & B. Devotion discovered Jean Patrick in one of the Parisian clubs where the latter performed with his band Black Underground. The producers decided to change the name of the band, reportedly they came up with the idea of the present name on their way back from Canada. Ottawan's catchy debut single "D.I.S.C.O" was a massive dance hit around Europe in 1980 and even made it to number two in Great Britain, staying in the charts for 18 weeks. 1981's "Hands Up" was almost as successful, reaching number three in the UK and logging on the charts for 15 weeks. Shortly thereafter Jean Patrick quit the band and organized a new duo, Pam 'n Pat, with whom he scored another European dance hit, "To Be Superman" in 1982. In recent years, Patrick re-organized Ottawan and toured Europe with his new partner, Tamara.

    D.I.S.C.O


     

     

    This was done by OTAWAN and was played heavily at the
    club meds around 1979. I hated to spin it, even when my boss demanded it. In that genre Boney M was better.
