Jan 03, 2007 | 5:14 pmThis original song was a huge Disco Club hit in the USA when it first came out, it was played by every club DJ.
There is an Arista Promo 12" first released in 1976,it contains a 16:30 minute long version plus two other classic hits of the day by General Johnson ("Don't walk away")and the Glitter Band ( "Makes you blind").
I was never able to find this song on a 12" until the version pictured here came along, my copy is on regular black vinyl.
There is also a Live version released on a UK Arista 12".
The original was first played in radio stations and early DISCOS way back in 1972!!! Long before 12" versions were even dreamed about!!
