Even actress and singer Bette Midler tried her hand at Disco in 1979 with "Married Men" which is actually a very good song. Bette sang with the late Sharon Redd in the Harlettes.
This particular 12 inch single states a Disco Mix edited by Issy Sanchez with a play time of 8:01 whereas another pressing I have with the same catalogue number state 7:58 without Issy's name on the label yet both pressings contain the same version.
The B-side, Bang, You're Dead is from the Atlantic LP 2-9000 Live at Last.
