Members DRW50 Posted July 23, 2010 Members Share Posted July 23, 2010 (edited) Eric you always tell us stuff we don't know. That's interesting. I actually think the vocalist on that song (Argentina) makes the whole thing work. I love If I Can't Have You. I think that is really the epitome of disco and the Bee Gees production style, and Yvonne Elliman. Another Bee Gees production genius. Like a lot of Dionne's most popular songs, she initially turned this down (more than once apparently): Edited July 23, 2010 by CarlD2 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members EricMontreal22 Posted July 23, 2010 Members Share Posted July 23, 2010 If I Can't Have You is my fave BeeGees penned song (I like a lot of their stuff but have a hard time with the falsetto, so prefer it when they write for others...). I just wish it were longer (there's a 12" mix but it's just looped, nothing new). Love Dionne though Heartbreaker is prob the last thing of hers I like--I love all of her 60s Bacharach produced stuff and most of her 70s, but lose interest by much of the 80s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted July 23, 2010 Members Share Posted July 23, 2010 (edited) I love Deja Vu. LOVE it. It's just perfect, it's the type of song which suited Dionne to a tee. Another of my favorite disco songs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5EpFPqnC4s Damn good. The big hits from Sister Sledge are a bit too "cute" for me but this one is flawless. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-701j53YUCI Edited July 23, 2010 by CarlD2 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted July 23, 2010 Members Share Posted July 23, 2010 Lost in Music is my fave from their two Chic produced/written abums though You Fooled Around (which doesn't seem to be on youtube) from the followup is kinda sublime... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members All My Shadows Posted July 23, 2010 Members Share Posted July 23, 2010 DEJA VU is one of my absolute faves, too. Just a great sound. That piano introduction is so haunting, but so perfect.

Members EricMontreal22 Posted July 24, 2010 Members Share Posted July 24, 2010 Wilder was kinda a one hit wonder, but he did later on, I believe write or co-write the songs for Mulan, among other things. I knew the song first from this cheezy dance cover which was MASSIVE when I was a teenager here in Canada. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6j659PwANA 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
