Members All My Shadows Posted March 23, 2011 Members Share Posted March 23, 2011 This is heartbreaking Definitely one of the underrated greats of the 70s music scene. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0CwQ0W4vVU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYWsmcqIu9Q "Yes, I'm gonna mess around. 'Cuz that's the way I want to be." You can base entire play/movie/TV show on that lyric alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alphanguy74 Posted March 23, 2011 Author Members Share Posted March 23, 2011 What an incredible talent she was. I Hit and Run, such a great groove, and she really nails it to the wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 23, 2011 Members Share Posted March 23, 2011 Hit and Run is just the ideal. I read somewhere that this was a big trailblazer for disco/dance songs, although I can't remember where now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted March 23, 2011 Members Share Posted March 23, 2011 I admit my fave disco was never the Salsoul/American sound, but I love Loleatta--she will be missed. Of course I heard this first in its Marky Mark/Funky Bunch sample lol Please register in order to view this content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted March 23, 2011 Members Share Posted March 23, 2011 I used to hate when Hit and Run would pop up on Music Choice's Classic Disco because then I'd know that I'd be stuck with it for ten looong minutes. But once I actually listened to it...I fell completely in love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 23, 2011 Members Share Posted March 23, 2011 Do they still have the disco channel? I used to love listening to Touch and Go 0 it's tough to find a good version of that on Youtube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted March 25, 2011 Members Share Posted March 25, 2011 No, they phased the disco channel out a few years ago. First, it was its own 24/7 channel, then they paired it with old school rap (like they swap out every 12 hours or something like that), then they were both cut. That channel was the way I discovered so many old disco singers/groups who don't really get a whole lot of exposure today, like Loleatta, First Choice, Sylvester, Evelyn Champagne King, etc. I really miss it.
