Mine has to be LOVE REACTION - Got it on 12" and a very rare Belgium Divine LPOriginally Written by phrankie
My fave Divine track is defintiely "Jungle Jezebel". I mean, how can you top it for campiness? :D
Bobby O certainly has a knack for nicking other peoples tunes and making them his own! Whisper to A Scream,Love Reaction, I'm So Hot For You and more. Nevertheless they were rather good.I personally love 'Shoot Your Shot'. Best Bobby O track in my opinion was 'She Has A Way'.
Best Divine track - Native love (Step by step). The 'B' side instrumental mix.
Best Bobby 'O' track - Givin' up/ I cry for you (double A side)
Best All-time Bobby O production - Waterfront Home 'Take a chance on me'.
I recently bought a rare Bobby O 122 0Cover of the song SUSPICIOUS MINDS - Not bad at all... Also a Bobby O Album called FREEDOM IN AN UNFREE WORLD - Belgium label BMC /CNROriginally Written by Davicillo
I also like the track 'a man like me'. Came out around the same time as the Flirts 'You & me'. Obviously in this slower mode stage!
Ahhh - the Flirts... Superb !Originally Written by Davicillo
Absolutely!!! "Voulez Vous"...Abba rip off at its best, lol x
PASSION is an undisputed classic 8)Originally Written by phrankie
Indeed...and "Oriental Boy"...isn't! Lol x
Glad I missed that one. Sounds like a Fancy hit!

My favorite Bobby O compilation are The best of Bobby ''O'' (Unidisc) and I Love Bobby ''O'' (Blanco y Negro), both of which have a good sound quality. Especially Blanco's one includes my most favorite rare tune Joy Michael ''Dancin'.'' Recommended ! :)
The Studio 57 album with the Bobby O medley , senstional, especially the I'm so hot for you and She has a way.......
Masterpiece, you should have seen it - That rainbow in the moonglow. Masterpiece, you've got to live it - That new dawn tomorrow!
Always loved Roni Griffith 'The Best Part Of Breaking Up' (hang on ..is that a Bobby O track?)
Hey peeps :)
Firstly I just wanna mention the two Bobby O tracks I absolutely loathe.....
That Roni Griffith cover of The Best Part Of Breaking Up (way too fast / cheesey / irritating)
And
Free Expression - Save The Last Dance For Me.
However - flip them both and you'll find the best Orlando tracks imho.
Love Is The Drug / Spies / Voodoo Man (flip of Roni Griffith, depending on which 12" you have)
and Chill Out, the B side to Free Expression's 12". Hardly hi-nrg but hypnotic and cool all the same ;)
Anyone else remember Miss Kimberley? Can't recall the title tho, but another great Orlando tune.
DJ Girl - Miss Kimberley
Used to mix well with "Take a Chance on Me"
Masterpiece, you should have seen it - That rainbow in the moonglow. Masterpiece, you've got to live it - That new dawn tomorrow!
hmm, Divine's "Native Love" for me. Then maybe "From A Whisper To A Scream."
