Label: Philips Records
Genre: Disco

From The Album: "Bad Girls" (1979)

Donna Summer (born LaDonna Adrian Gaines December 31, 1948) is an American singer and songwriter who gained prominence during the disco era of music, earning the title "The Queen of Disco".
In 1979, Summer released the landmark double album Bad Girls. Unusual for a disco album, it mixed rock, funk, blues and soul to electronic beats. It yielded two consecutive singles reaching Platinum status with sales of two million each: the number-one one hits "Hot Stuff" and "Bad Girls". The number-two hit "Dim All The Lights" released in the latter half of 1979. The track combines Summer's trademark disco beats with a more soulful/R&B-esque sound.
"Dim All the Lights" was Summer's only hit single that she wrote alone, with no co-writers. She originally intended to give the song to Rod Stewart, but changed her mind at the last minute.

Bill Szymczyk and Jody Boyer perform the backing vocals. This song uses a call-and-response pattern.

Label: Mercury Records
Genre: Soul, Disco
Producer:
Country: U.S.A.

The Gary Toms Empire became New York disco favourites in 1975 when "7-6-5-4-3-2-1 (Blow your whistle)" was pressed. The record sold 40,000 copies in NY within first week of sale. From the same album listen also for "Slow and funky" and "Feel that funky groove".
Gary stayed with the Pickwick (PIP) label until it folded at the end of 1976. During this period he produced the first promotional 12" on PIP - "Drive my car", a cover of the Beatles track. By far the best 12" tracks were the magnificent "Stand up and shout" and "Party hardy" which both feature very groovy basslines and nice horn stabs.
After PIP was dissolved, the Gary and his Empire didn't settle with a label and after a reasonable single "Turn it out" on MCA, he moved to Mercury for "Welcome to Harlem". By this time, Gary's funky disco sound had gone out of fashion and record sales faultered.

Manfred can be heard singing at the end of "Blinded by the Light", in counterpoint, with Thompson - it was this feature of the song that initially attracted him.
