I will have to look into it. I don't have any of their stuff for sure. I DO have Grace Jones but I never really considered her disco as there was too much interesting stuff going on musically there, even the early stuff. Pull Up To The Bumper is an amazing tune and great album.

This is the guy who did the "Slide ....Right In" album, Rod McKuen ( ... )

All I can say is oh my effing gawd.... I had NO idea it was a friggin' Rod McKuen album! LOL That makes it all the more perfect. LOL He was hugely popular in the 60s apparently... you see his albums all the time in thrift shops ... tho' I have never seen this Disco one again (not that I have really been looking).

Now I have to find the LP and play it -- i have it filed away somewhere in the collection just in a white paper sleeve (its not in the frame). I've never bothered to play it. Wonder what it sounds like.

Thanks for the update!

and oh .....another thing about the guy who did the Slide album .....from wikipedia:

I didn't really know he was a songwriter... I always got the sense his records were sort of spoken word soft poetry lite stuff ... sort of like those "Deep Thoughts" moments they did for a while on Saturday Night Live in the 90s, but for real... If the disco album is a spoken word thing it will be hysterical...
