Saint Tropez: This Love's On Me - The Lost 1980 Album [Unreleased]
I am very proud to present you with a true rarity here. Disco connoisseurs will of course know Saint Tropez for their gorgeous albums Je t'aime and Belle de Jour with lushly orchestrated tracks such as One More Minute and Fill My Life With Love, both reaching the Top 10 on the Billboard Disco Charts. By the end of 1979, their record label Butterfly Records had signed a deal with MCA Records, but with the popularity of disco declining rapidly in the USA, the deal fell through. In May 1980, a mini-LP had been recorded for a new label, Neo 80, this time not produced by the Rinder & Lewis team, but by former Motown songwriter Jerry Marcellino. This album exists only as a rare promo and was never released commercially. I once had the opportunity to talk to Alfonso J. Cervantes, the founder of Butterfly Records, and he had no recollections of this album or the reasons for it being shelved. Still, Saint Tropez performed the song Tremblin' when visiting Chile in 1981. By 1982, Saint Tropez returned with another stunner of an album on Cervantes' new Destiny label, Hot And Nasty, once again with Rinder & Lewis producing. The same year, This Love's On Me, would be recorded and released by the Ritchie Family for their I'll Do My Best album.
I owe a big thanks to Hans R. De Vries for sending me this rare 12" as an early birthday present. Please note that the picture cover I have provided here, is entirely homemade and features the 1982 line-up of Mona Lisa Young, Phyllis Rhodes, and Lyndie White who were most certainly not associated with this particular production. Phyllis & Lyndie, however, appear in the 1981 performance in Chile which I have included as a bonus here.

Kelly Marie: Who's That Lady With My Man [Full Album + Bonus] (1976)
Переглядів 2844 години тому
Wrapping up my Kelly Marie posts, here is her debut album from 1976. I wanted to focus on her disco period first before posting this one, as this is your typical mid-1970s-middle-of-the-road bubblegum pop. Kelly Marie was born in Scotland as Jacqueline McKinnon, 16 October 1957. She was only sixteen when she appeared on the talent show Opportunity Knocks under the name of Keli Brown, winning th...

I have known Earnee, Shirley & Vie (aka Pearly Gates) of The Flirtations for 17 years now. They have been around for an amazing 60 years. Their 1969 LP Sounds Like The Flirtations is a wonderful, timeless record including their signature tune Nothing But A Heartache. I had the pleasure of writing and producing the single Roulette with them in 2009, and here they are all these years later with a...

Kelly Marie's final singles on the PRT-sublabel Calibre Plus! are gathered here on an imaginary album. With the changing sounds of the new decade, dance music was now becoming increasingly more electronic and dubbed Hi-NRG. Kelly worked with Tony Eyers (probably most known for writing and producing 5000 Volts' 1975 hit I'm On Fire) on Silent Treatment, an October 1983-single, but as with her pr...

Kelly Marie's explosive Sep. '80 No. 1 hit Feels LIke I'm In Love was followed by the two minor hits Loving Just For Fun (Oct. '80) and Hot Love (Jan. '81), both peaking just outside the Top 20 in the UK and Germany. Love Trial followed in May 1981 but stalled at No. 51 in the UK and a meagre No. 75 in Germany. The R&B-esque Don't Stop The Love marked a departure in sound with Biddu being a co-...

By 1980 disco had mostly disappeared off the American radio stations due to disco backlash, but it hadn't stopped Kelly's Feels Like I'm In Love and Loving Just For Fun being dancefloor smashes in the US where both of them hit No. 10 on the disco charts as import copies. A short-lived sublabel of CBS Records, Coast To Coast, picked up the rights for the American market, but decided the songs ne...

The Gibson Brothers' On The Riviera album in 1980 had not yielded any massive hits the size of Cuba and Que Sera Mi Vida. Instead, the brothers were watching Ottawan take off rapidly with D.I.S.C.O., T'es O.K., and Hands Up, but with the two lip-syncing members being fired, Ottawan's success quickly dwindled. The brothers' new single Sheela was released in the summer of 1981 but the mid-tempo p...
