Gene Chandler had been around for a long time and got his start in the Chicago Doo - wop scene and is best known for "Duke of Earl."
Gene Chandler went into his Disco phase with "Get Down" and also "When You're #1." Both are classic Disco songs and the worthy addition to your record collection.
Producer Carl Davis did the soundtrack to many Hollywood movies including Ben-Hur.
Remixer, Rick Gianatos wrote the following in the DiscoMusic.com forums:
GENE CHANDLER -- Get Down -- It was something I put in to be unpredictable, and initially had to battle with Carl Davis to keep it in. I suppose it was awkward, but it was the kind of edit I would have done unexpectedly live, so I tried to incorporate that into the mix. Fortunately, I won out on that one!
I really enjoyed working with all those wonderful old school music people ... Eugene Record, Carl and George Davis, Tom Tom 84, etc. I miss all that Chicago sound...

Get with it, this isn't a DISCO CLASSIC either. It got played, but not by everyone, and not in the crunch or PRIME TIME hours. It wasn't a big hit at all. Reserve the term CLASSIC for those that deserved it. On my scale from 1-10 it gets a 6.
