Mar 04, 2008 | 8:51 amPATTI BROOKS was a DISCO superstar. AFTER DARK was a mega-hit! It crossed over to POP, to AM radio!! This DISCO CLASSIC was being played in DISCOS for over a year before the movie THANK GOD ITS FRIDAY came out. It was being burned out in New York City DISCOS way before her album was released. It was released as a 12" promo first, in 1977. Great breaks and percussion made mixing it easy. I remember Walter Gibbons remixing this song for over an hour once!! On my scale from 1-10, it is an easy 10.

I was wondering about "After Dark". The confusing thing is I have Patti Brooks LP "Our Ms. Brooks" which contains After Dark tracktime (7:51). The year on the LP says 1978 and the label is a Casablanca Promo.
My Question is which was released first the T.G.I.F. soundtrack or her LP ?
By the way FAST PHILLY, her LP was released first, and AFTER DARK was already a hit prior to TGIF.
