Disco singers have feelings too.

**nrgbeat** · June 3rd, 2005, 11:49 AM

I've often wondered if disco/dance artists ever post on this site.
It would be a little embarassing if I trashed an artist's work and they happened to read it as they were browsing the threads.

I can imagine the hurt Dennis LePage must feel when he reads how others have trashed his precious Lime or the members of Duran Duran feel when I say they are no longer pretty.

**SandraDee** · June 3rd, 2005, 01:07 PM

I got a reply from an 80s hi-nrg artist in a thread a few weeks ago. She was very sweet but then again I hadn't trashed her work! :lol:

**DISCODISK** · June 3rd, 2005, 01:44 PM

i spoke with an american 60s singer on another site the other day,told her she was due some royalties from a special release here in 73 that she didnt know about,she went and checked but she wasnt registered at the time so wasnt eligable,she was so nice and happy that her records were known here and told the story about how the record came about,so nrgbeat i was wondering the same thing about here,wonder if bernie knows anything...

**Videoskooter** · June 3rd, 2005, 03:36 PM

Only last week I was thinking the same. Suppose if we critic somebody and that person is a member without ever revealing his or her Star-identity. Maybe in such a case, Bernie or Nicky would discretely advice us? I hope so.

BTW, if Stock, Aitken or Waterman are members here, can they confirm this plz???? Hahahahaha :lol:

**Bernie** · June 4th, 2005, 08:54 AM

Yes, quite a number of singers, DJs and other music people are members of DiscoMusic.com, but do not usually post under their own names or even post at all. They are amongst us!

**Videoskooter** · June 4th, 2005, 06:19 PM

Bernie, names, nicks???? :oops: I'm starting to think that a certain "Paul" doesn't exist and that it is Miss Hayek in person who's posting here, mmmmh :o

us regulars from years back know who's who.

**efunk_adelic** · June 5th, 2005, 01:14 PM

back to topic...

I am sure that if the artists read these threads... they are used to hearing good/bad reviews of their past efforts. I mean not everyone likes LED ZEPPELIN'S - Stairway To Heaven...

**Videoskooter** · June 8th, 2005, 05:45 PM

OMG, Paul, come back to the board, I trust you, I was only joking, plzzzz don't tell me that I was right :oops:

Or in case I am: Salma, you are a beautiful woman, keep on posting honey

Seriously, I don't know our famous members. I know Marky has or had something to do with da bizz and that Nicky is a famous DJ and played on some records. I'm not a star though, I was a pretty famous radiojock in Brussels during the 80's but quit all of that when the music of those days didn't touch me anymore. And BTW I was one of the first to play Detroit, Chicago House and Go Go in Belgium. People didn't like it back then.

BTW I got very drunk with Mickey Rourke once, he still remembers me :D :D :D

Other facts:

-I lunched with Cerrone 2 times
-I went out several times with the guys from Two Man Sound
-I spoke to Carmen Electra
-I shook hands with Prince
-I trained once with Jean-Claude Vandamme (kickboxe)
-I kissed Donna Summer

But me-myself-I, famous nope :cry:

Remicks, curiosity killed the cat!!!

A) I absolutely do not remember anymore what we ate but the conversation was of course about Disco. Cerrone was pleased that his records are still cherished by lots of people, old and young and that he was planning to do a new album on which he would rework the old grooves (that was before the launch of Hysteria).

Further we discussed the importance of naked women in videoclips and on recordsleeves which we both consider very important and we talked about life in L.A. and about restaurants over there since a Belgian, Eddy Kerkhofs, is the owner of the star restaurant "Le Dôme".

Cerrone is a very modest and polite guy and still has the class he spread during his clips in the haydays.

B) Miss Summer. Before she had her breakthrough she lived in Germany. At that time she had a little hit here called "The Hostage". She did a promotour in Discos and that brought her to my hometown where there was a giant new Thek called "The Globe".

Because I was still a minor my niece got me in and introduced me to la Donna and her entourage. And me, myself and I got 3 (three, tre, Drei, Trois) hot kisses on the cheek from her. I still remember that she was stunningly beautiful. In fact it was one of the first black women I saw in real life and that also was very exotic and she wore her famous short dress which almost left uncovered all the parts the priests in Catholic school were warning us for.

Satisfied? :lol:

Videoskooter ....

It's even better than you suggested..... YOU didn't kiss Donna Summer ......SHE kissed YOU !!! :D :D 8) :D

Now , how does one wind up having lunch with Cerrone (twice)? Was he sitting there in a cafe and you just walked up to his table and sat down???

.....Why were you having lunch ? (besides being hungry) Was it just the two of you ??? Where??

please continue......... :)

Remicks, sometimes things are rather easy in life

In the 80's I was the boss of a private radiostation in Brussels. In fact I was a pirate coz' private radios were not allowed in our country at that time, only national government could broadcast legally.

Because we offered a different style to the public and the nationals didn't, we had a pretty large audience. Naturally recordfirms were interested and contacted and visited us to promote their artists and records. On one occasion I was invited to have lunch with monsieur Cerrone. As I was a huge fan I couldn't refuse that offer :D The second occasion came after I met Bob Sinclar at a party in Brussels. He was working on the Cerrone By Bob Sinclar album and re-introduced me with Mr. Disco.

Simple, ain't it. Just being on the right place at the right time.

Mickey Rourke was at a filmfestival in Belgium. I somehow got in his neighbourhood and he invited me and a few friends to show him the city. We did and all I remember the next day was waking up at noon in a strange bed with a terrible headache and not seeing Mr. Rourke anymore. The strange girl that was sleeping next to me became my first wife :o

If members are interested they can order the following episodes for only zero euros/dollars:

-My wild nights with Lou Deprijck from Two Man Sound.
-My meet'n greet with Prince
-My meet'n greet with Carmen Electra

On the other hand:
-My wild sexual escapades with Salma Hayek are for a limited and adult audience only and will be censored for people who are living in San Diego and drive Pontiacs.

(Paul, I'm joking, you know me by now!)

**remicks** · July 10th, 2005, 07:14 PM

I'm seriously considering ordering your follow-up episodes , VIDEOSKOOTER, especially the TWO MAN SOUND one .....
:D

Back to Cerrone though.......

Was it just the two of you ? What kind of place was it ? Did you walk to it , drive , meet there ?

Was wine passsed around ? Sparkling water ? RC cola?

What was Cerrone pushing at the time ? I take it your station's format was dance ??

very interesting ..........

I'm negociating with Bernie about the Two Man Sound stories, I'm afraid they are too raunchy for this board (wild women (including trannies) +booze+very long nights) :lol: :lol: :lol:

BTW Lou Deprijkck is living in Thailand now where he spends his days with women + booze and he's very well. He has bought a mansion there and is very rich (Two Man Sound, Plastic Bertrand, Lou & The Hollywood Bananas, Viktor Laszlo. The man has produced many worldwide selling stuff).

Cerrone, omg, that's already long ago! I remember taking the bus, since I lived in Brussels at that time and it was much easier than to park the car somewhere. It was the Hotel Métropole and we drunk red wine. I think I had asperges (I usually have that in restaurants-normally I always eat Italian food) but I simply can not remember what he ordered. I know his brand of cigarettes tough since he was a smoker. It was not the two of us but Cerrone, a person from Malligator, a friend of him and me and my wife.

Our station was Top 40 during the day. Rock during the evening but....Disco and Funk during the long nights. I usually played live during 6 hours and what fun we had!

**JussiK** · July 12th, 2005, 01:58 AM

Cerrone...what would I not give to have lunched with HIM! But I got to take this opportunity to let people know that I have cocktailed the afternoon away in the elegant company of Mayte Mateos the original singer of Baccara, a few years ago. I have also shaken the hand of Mr Earl Young! In addition, I have danced less than one meter away from the smiling Amanda Lear Herself when I was very young, blinded by the sequins of her silver gown. Oh the thoughts that filled my head, blood was boiling, I was on fire. I also once tried to be brave enough to get next to Grace Jones, failing miserably. She was too mythically warrior-like, one could only worship at a distance.

Not really on topic, but I've been spreading the love of the first Baccara LP to many locals. The reaction is always the same. Initial shock ("My God, this is horrible!") followed by curiousity ("Oh, I have to hear that again... this just can't be for real..."), then acceptance ("I can't believe I'm getting into this... these songs are such earworms!"), followed by lengthy debate ("the mispronunciation of 'boogie woogie' had to be deliberate... it's not like Spanish people can't pronounce W...")

In my research on Baccara, I learned that their debut LP remains one of the all-time bestsellers in Finland. Has it ever been reissued in original form on CD? Like so many acts from that era, it appears that there are more compilations than original albums, yet the originals remain long out-of-print.

None of the original vinyl albums so dear to the hearts of my fellow countrymen seem to have been realesed on cds - so that leaves many thrillseekers without some gems like "FEEL ME", a big fave from the first album. That particular track got included in the soundtrack of the amazing Spanish action comedy "Torrente" a few years ago - a kind of totally unhinged, ultraviolent Hispanic remake of the famed 70's bad taste epic "Cry Uncle". In Torrente "Feel Me" played during a brothel scene in which cheap hookers in leopard skin motif outfits lounged around, bathed in a lurid red light. "Will this girl be a sinner, after dinner?" Such a great tune. I could not help joining in the chorus in the cinema. - And you do know there's a fab 12" version of "Yes Sir I Can Boogie", too!

**Davicillo** · July 13th, 2005, 06:08 PM

Jurrasik, I loved both Torriente movies but, the first one was the best. Especially when he squeezed the zit all over the mirror! It was all made on location in Madrid! Fab city!
