I tried to copy all the titles but did not work:)
Yeah that looks good Jack.
Here is a slightly different take on a favorite. Although the finished, popular version would not be released until May, 1978, this early version is what was played at Studio 54 in late 1977:

Happy to have found this thread - the Paradise Garage and the Tunnel were my jams when I lived in Manhattan during NY's gritty days! :rolleyes:
Love it Gary :DQuote:

I think one of my first 12" was The Jacksons with "Enjoy yourself" but then came along Donna Summer with "I feel love" and "Down Deep Inside", which was a US import, so it played slower than ours at 33rpm. That converted me forever to 12" singles. Disco followed - and in my house disco still lives.Quote:

She brought the Gospel to Disco/Dance music:

Marv, when it comes to hot horns, strings, and super-charged danceability, Loleatta's "I May Not Be There When You Want Me" is my all-time favorite. The Dance Queen Of Philly Soul sizzles brilliantly from start to finsh!

Viola had a fantastic voice that made you listen up! So sad she left us at 70 years young. Thanks for posting.Quote:

However! I did a fun interview today. It was with Vera Brown, who was the lead singer of The Richie Family for a number of years, so that's another Philly act, referring loosely to a great thread here on this forum.
Many of us love a comeback story, and this is one, because Miss Brown lived through what she describes as the dark days of her life and came out on the other side. She released her DEBUT album as a solo performer in 2018, titled "Somebody", and now we are over in scripture based output. And she was just picked up by Sony Orchard, who are about to release the album worldwide and has plans for this singer, who is now based in Landisville. So that's a story that I thought I might share.
Here she is a few years back:

And here we find Vera Brown now
