Richard Noriega (Amant)
Lead singer of Disco group Amant (June 1, 1950 - Present)
I recorded under the name "Amant" for producer Ray Martinez who was with TK Records at the time. Our manager was Larry Brahms who lived in the Miami area. The year was 1980. Amant is best remembered for the 1978 Disco hit "If There's Love."
I remember we almost made it on Dick Clark's American Bandstand, but it never happened. I now am a television news anchor in Laredo, Texas for the CBS affiliate KVTV. I still love to sing, only these days I report news. I love all the fans who gave our music wings and will never forget my times in the studio cranking out those great disco hits.
Love,
Richard Noriega "Amant"

Hi Richard,
I've tried to e-mail, to no avail. Try to e-mail, please, to see if you can get through. I've got lots of thing to share with you. Perhaps ...... Amant, The Unfinished Project ....... Sounds interesting. What do you think? I still have some unreleased Amant tracks that only YOU! can do.
See you.
Ray
You have a great voice. "If There's Love" is a bona-fide classic." And what a production! They don't write or produce them like that anymore, sadly.
Thanks Taid, and let's not forget, the Best Singer Ever! Richard, you are the best !!
Mr. Noriega you have a great voice, the first i heard the album was during my h.s. years thru a cuban friend of mine.The music is uncomparable to todays sound.I enjoy listen and dancing
these beatifully crafted tracks. Disco is forever.
