YOUR COMMENTS ON Johnny Bristol
Hey Bernie,
Johnny was great! I love "Hang On In There Baby". There is a version in the 54 DVD, that is not on the soundtrack, but it is a duet with Alton, McClain & Destiny. Do you know if they ever released it? As I understand the AM&D's producer mixed the 2 as a duet, but I have never seen it. I would love to get a copy.
Thanks,
Blaine

I just LOVED that song but can't remember what year it came out. Help !!!
Steve,
It is a great song! It is one of my favorites from the disco era. I have the 45 and LP with the song.
It came out in 1974 although I believe the duet with Alton, McClain & Destiny came out a little later. The duet is the one I am searching for now. It is in movie 54, but not on the soundtrack of the movie. I wish I had not sold my record collection, because now I am trying to find the old great ones and it is hard..

Oh, and Blaine. The cd doesn't mention that it is the duet version. I will check out my cd and let you know which volume.
Anthony,
That would be great! I just check Rebound Records, but I did not see any version of the song.

Blaine,
This song is on Rebound Records - "Disco Nights - Volum #2. The Best of Disco Funk." It is the last song on the CD.

HANG ON IN THERE BABY...SIMPLY A CLASSIC RECORD OF THE 70S AND NO ONE ELSE COULD EVER SING THIS SONG...WHAT A LOSS.
I did not know that Johnny Bristol died. He was just on a oldies show a couple of years ago and he looked really good.
I just go into my little world when I hear "Do it to your mind". Thank God I still have his album
The name of the album is Bristol Creame. He is pouring cream on a woman who is sitting in a bath tub.

Besides Being An Acomplished R&B Singer Johnny Was An Integral Part Of The Motown Hit Making Machine.
HANG ON IN THERE BABY was a staple nightly in my early years. The 45 single had two versions on it. It always packed the floor. A classic, thanks.
