Members EricMontreal22 Posted July 23, 2010 Members Share Posted July 23, 2010 It was a theme song for a sitcom he briefly did, wasn't it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted July 23, 2010 Members Share Posted July 23, 2010 Yeah, the sitcom was the same name. It didn't go anywhere but the song did. It's one of my favorite disco songs, just pure cheese and fun before that became something to be ashamed of in music... And of course he did the Dr. Pepper ads. (Did he ever do any with Larry Bryggman?) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hkGJ2OjsSg 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted July 23, 2010 Members Share Posted July 23, 2010 Yeah I found the vinyl single randomly at a thrift shop as a teen--like it a lot too. I only knew him from American Werewolf. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members EricMontreal22 Posted July 23, 2010 Members Share Posted July 23, 2010 That whole Festival Evita album is a masterpiece--I have a book on disco music, mainly obscure stuff, and theypicked it as their fave Eurodisco album. It was done by Russian/American (though classified as Eurodisco) maestro Bob Midney, who many think was thebest of the best. He was commisioned to do the Evita adaptation by Stigwood, Evita's producer, and it was released 6 months before the premier. Festival was his made up name for the band for that album--he used a bunch of names (Caress, Beautiful Bend, Masquerade, USA/European Connection). That actually might be his most mainstream work, but his other stuff was often, by disco standards, very avant garde full of discordant patches, melodies that came out of nowhere, random vocals, sudden jabbing strings. He was the first to use a 48 part studio recording technique too. (I actually think his one weakness was the vocalists he used). It's the kinda stuff thehardcore disco DJs would play but you'd never hear at a mainstream disco like 54 The bside medley: And 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members EricMontreal22 Posted July 23, 2010 Members Share Posted July 23, 2010 Two of my fave Midney classics (again my only concern is some of the vocals--but I can get past that with the swirling melodies and production): And from 1979 (wish this had better sound--I have all his albums remastered on CD.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
