Members DRW50 Posted November 23, 2011 Members Share Posted November 23, 2011 http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/entertainment/2011/11/andrea-true-porn-star-and-singer-dies-at-68/ You still hear "More More More" today. I have heard it in commercials just a few days ago. That song has one of the best hooks ever. I love the story behind the making of that song. She had money which was going to be worthless if it left the islands she had banked it at, so she decided to go make a record. Only in the 70's could a porn actress go on to become a mainstream music artist, and create such an iconic record. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPMXw40si80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MontyB Posted November 23, 2011 Members Share Posted November 23, 2011 Loved her back in the day. I liked a few of her other songs much better than More, More, More. May she rest in peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alphanguy74 Posted November 23, 2011 Members Share Posted November 23, 2011 I love that song, and your'e right... one of the best hooks ever. She said she intended to re-record the vocals, but the record company had went ahead and released it without her knowledge, with the rehearsal vocal intact, "Much to my HORROR" as she stated. But she had a hit, so she didn't look a gift horse in the mouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted November 23, 2011 Author Members Share Posted November 23, 2011 I don't know a lot about her career so if you can tell us more about her other songs that would be wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted November 23, 2011 Members Share Posted November 23, 2011 IDK, I think a porn star could go ahead and make it in the mainstream today The thing I love about Andrea is that she didn't try to shun her history in adult movies. I remember reading once that she simply wanted to be remembered "for making people happy," regardless of whether it was for the song or for her other...talents.

Members DRW50 Posted November 23, 2011 Author Members Share Posted November 23, 2011 They could, possibly, but it would be in a very different, objectified way. They'd be leered at the whole time. It's amazing to me how Andrea True, Marilyn Chambers, to a lesser degree Dennis Parker, were able to blur the lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MontyB Posted November 23, 2011 Members Share Posted November 23, 2011 She had a couple of really good tunes back in the late 70's. I liked More, More More, but these used to make me get up and dance as a teen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDCiesbZHSw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted November 23, 2011 Members Share Posted November 23, 2011 Well, that's the whole Paris Hilton/Kim Kardashian story but they only needed to make 1 porn to make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members CouchTomato Posted November 23, 2011 Members Share Posted November 23, 2011 Awww. I'm very sad to hear that. Another part of my youth is gone. I loved her songs. I remember hearing a group named Len sample her greatest hit: http://www.whosample...20More,%20More/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Max Posted November 24, 2011 Members Share Posted November 24, 2011 R.I.P. Despite its long-term popularity, "More, More, More" only reached #4 in 1976. Andrea's only other Top 40 hit--which MontyB posted--was 1977's "N.Y., You Got Me Dancing," which peaked at #27. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
