One of the first songs which started the disco movement and although it was covered by so many artists - this is definitely the best version. The way she puts her soul into it - a classic!
Eruption starring Precious Wilson had a few hits in 1978/79 including their cover of 'I can't stand the rain'. They were produced by Frank Farian of 'Boney M' fame.
In 1974 the masterminds behind KC and the Sunshine Band gave him this song which fits perfectly for his high-pitched voice. It turned out to be one of the big hits of the 70s. Enjoy!
Man turned woman, model turned singer, what is she? You will never know, back in the 70s she was cover-model for Roxy Music, muse for Salvador Dali and disco darling all over Europe.
In the 70s Germany had its own Philly queen and that was Marianne Rosenberg. Her records were highly influenced by the musical wave coming from Philadelphia. They featured sweet vocals, funky guitars, sweeping strings and great melodies. Enjoy!
Penny was born 4th November 1948 in Klagenfurt/Austria and was a member of Silver Convention (Fly Robin Fly). Lady Bump was a massive hit in Europe and NA reaching #2 on Billboards Disco Top 100. The famous scream was actually done by Gitta Walther.
There are too little videos by Gwen Guthrie and no video from her years with the Island label so guess what - I made my own video. The music is coming from the Japenese CD version of the 'Padlock'-EP including supporting work by Sly & Robbie and Larry Levan.
What about some classic Euro pop from the 80s? Ever heard about an Italian group singing in Spanish with their biggest hit produced in Germany? Welcome to Righeira and their song about the explosion of an atomic bomb. Strange - isn't it.
One of her rare appearences on German T.V. in the new millenium. Good news: she will have a comeback in 2007 with a new CD including her old gang from the Compass Point Sessions.
The Teutonic disco offers you another great 70s production from a lady who used to be a part of the German cast of HAIR along Donna Summer (remember her ...) And just like the great records by Marianne Rosenberg this song was produced by Joachim Heider. And do not forget to listen to 'You've Got The Power' - Su Kramer's English version of this song - pure disco heaven!
