Music takes me where I want to be...
The studio project known as Musique (produced by Patrick Adams) released this album in 1979 on Prelude Records. Prelude's claim to fame was that all of their albums featured four disco-length songs. The whole aim of the label was to put product in the hands
of the disc jockeys in the hot clubs that proliferated in those days. Surely, the success Silver Convention had in America with a European sound, influenced Adams, but he took it to a new level. Both lead cuts from the album went straight to the top of the disco/dance chart. "Keep On Jumpin'" was an ode to the dance floor, with a high bpm, pulsating bass, and soaring strings and brass. It could turn a night out on the town into an excursion; a fantasy built around the empowerment and freedom to be found in dance. "In The Bush" was even faster than "Keep On Jumpin'", with its emphasis on Latin rhythms. The song was crafted to allow
dancers to let their fantasies emerge on the dance floor; to seek
new liasons, without regard as to their ultimate fates. "Summer Love", on the other hand, catered to the romantics in the crowd.
The girls (the vocalists featured Jocelyn Brown, who went on to fame, singing "Somebody Else's Guy") sing about a love they know is temporary. They sing, "You are my summer love," as opposed to, "You are my love." And yet even as they revel in the new sensations of this fleeting encounter (Take me... Touch me... Hold me... Shelter me from harm...), they can't help but ask, "Will I lose you? Will you only be a summer love?" With its catchy keyboard-and-strings intro, "Summer Love" was used over the next few years continually, leading into televised sporting events, documentaries, and specials. And, repeated on the album as an instrumental, "Summer Love" also became the theme for the album. I would play this album for hours on my 8-track boom box (Yes!), and there was one song on each of the four programs, and every other song that played was "Summer Love"! There are a lot of good memories for me in this music. I think there is something
here for anyone who likes soulful dance music.
STILL CLASSIC AT STUDIO 54 *****
I was an underage teen when I first got into Studio 54 in New York City, it's a priceless memory. I remember I wrote down the major songs that first night in July, 1978, on the inside cover of Studio's matchbook, which was just plain without a logo, black laminated and white on the inside jacket: "Keep on Jumpin'," Patrick Juvet's "I Love America," Karen Young's "Hot Shot," and "I've Got Eyes In The Back of my Head" by Patti LaBelle, and two songs that played while Liza and Halston sat above the crowd in the D.J. booth, "Last Dance," Donna Summer, and "I Can't Stand The Rain" by Eruption.
The next summer at 54, it was "Pop Muzic" by M, the extended version of "Miss You" by the Rolling Stones, and Claudja Barry's "Boogie Woogie Dancing Shoes." But in 1978, THE song was "Keep on Jumpin'", which, at Studio, trumped "In The Bush," against the backdrop of the SunGod drop, the Crescent Moon with eyes lighted and swinging with the lighted cocaine spoon, and the unforgettable yellow and red deco columns of light descending and ascending to this soundtrack, a symphony of Joy!
Can you imagine? No sex, no drugs, just the intoxication of this? It was...
This Music Defined some of the Best Times of My LIFE!
Oh man I heard the samples of this CD and felt 26 years younger for an instant. Like Scrappy the squirriel says as you get older those flashbacks to your youth don't last as long as they used to but man it was intense and like so worth it. I brought this CD soon as I heard Summer Love. Man this whole CD blew the Wolf's hair back to the 70's.
This was music back when it was not all about killing everything that moves. Back when music was upbeat and fun. This was rea; Music before crybaby rapper's whining for sex. This was music before whimps who think singing about carrying guns and posioning neighborhoods with drugs make them a men. This was music about love before rude stupid self absorbed people turned music into a self hate fest.
Granted I am an old gray cummudgeon now. Some must admit rap is great and focued on life enhancing messages. I did like Tag Team Whoomp there it is after all. My musical heart will always be solidly in the 70's disco era however. If you loved the days of disco, polyester leisure suits in every wild color imaginatable, bell bottomed of course and plaform shoes this music will take you right back to the day.
Just listen to a few of the tracks on this sample list and it will take you back to the day and things you have not felt or thought of in years will flood back. This CD is a tonic for the tired soul. Get ready to cry tears of joy on hearing this CD. Words are insufficient to the task of defining the true joy this CD will bring you if you were part of the disco day or just want to see what the 70's were all about.
Take care all PEACE from an Wolf Wolf who loves ya baby!
