80's Grooves 22 - 06 - 2011

When is a groove rare? It all depends on the past airplay, discocharts and personal interest. If I play a "rare groove" all day long it becomes a hit to me but could be unknown and therefore rare to someone else. What do you think?

Mighty Fire - Sweet Fire

This track makes me smile from ear to ear! Track nr. 1 from the 1981 album "No Time For Masquerading"

"Based in Los Angeles, Mighty Fire recorded two albums, in 1981 and 1982 respectively. 'No Time For Masquerading' was released, in 1981, on Elektra Records and featured Mel Bolton and Marilyn McLeod at co-producers. The track 'I Could Write A Love Song', was written for, writer Pam Sawyer's son, Steve Sawyer. The dancers 'Sweet Fire' and 'Love Fantasy' were popular on the U.K. dance floors. The album 'Mighty Fire' followed in 1982 on the Elektra imprint. The band split up after this release"

Feel the Fire!

Sharon Redd - Redd Hott 1982

Sharon Redd was born October 19 , 1945 and died May 1 , 1992 because of pneumonia.

Comment on this album :

"This album is essential to any fan of early Dance music. For me "Never Give you up" is more then enough reason to pick this album up, an absolutely perfect dance song. Following close behind it are two other jams "Beat the street" and "In the name of love". Sharon's voice is essentially what makes this album, you can always feel like she's really putting the all in her tracks, not to mention the productions are stellar. In my opinion she's one of the best on Prelude."
