Sharon Redd rare 1971 interview + other videos

After some time without posting, I'm back with an astonishing video from 1971: Sharon Redd, one of the best disco singers ever who sadly passed away in 1992, on an interview for GTK, a TV show produced and broadcast by ABC (Australian Broadcasting Company). Sharon is leaving the famous musical Hair and explains why and what are her plans for the future. Relaxed and modest, she complains about all the crap in the music business and says that although she didn't want to be a top singer, she loved what she did.

Depois de um tempo sem postar, estou de volta com um vídeo surpreendente de 1971: Sharon Redd, uma das maiores cantoras da disco que infelizmente faleceu em 1992, em uma entrevista para o GTK, um programa de TV produzido e exibido pela ABC (Australian Broadcasting Company). Sharon está deixando o famoso musical Hair e explica por quê, e também fala sobre seus planos para o futuro. Relaxada e humilde, reclama de todo o lixo que existe no mercado musical e diz que embora não estivesse buscando sucesso mundial, ela amava o que fazia.


Another rare video, a different version of "Can You Handle It" with Sharon on a TV show / Outro vídeo raro, uma versão diferente de "Can You Handle It", com Sharon em um programa de TV

Peter Herbert and his future classic

A future classic. That's what "Yo Drums", newest single by British Pete Herbert on Maxi Discs, is. The mp3 is not available for purchase yet, but run and buy your vinyl copy asap.

Thrilling synths on a blend of italo disco and house, with samples masterly used from The Creatures's "Believe In Yourself" 1983 song.

There are also good remixes by Ajello and Dicky Trisco, but the original is the definite bomb!

Listen to the samples and buy the record here, and listen to The Creatures's track here.

================================

Um futuro clássico. Isso que "Yo Drums", single mais novo do britânico Pete Herbert pelo Maxi Discs, é. O mp3 ainda não está disponível para venda, mas corra e compre sua cópia do vinil o mais rápido possível

Synths emocionantes numa mistura de italo disco e house, com samples usados com maestria da música "Believe In Yourself", do The Creatures, lançada em 1983.

Existem também bons remixes de Ajello e Dicky Trisco, mas a original é, definitivamente, a melhor.

Ouça samples e compre o disco aqui e ouça a faixa do The Creatures aqui.

Private party in Brazil, 1984

Can you imagine what a disco party was like in Brazil, around 1984? Take a look: people even danced together! Incredible, isn't it?

Here's something I miss nowadays, with so much arrogance on the dance floor...

(Thanks to my friend Luciano for the link)

=========================================================================================

Tem idéia de como era uma festa disco no Brasil em 1984? Dá uma olhada: as pessoas até dançavam juntas! Incrível, né?

Taí algo que faz falta nos dias de hoje, com pistas repletas de carão por todos os lados...

(Obrigado ao meu amigo Luciano pelo link)


Music: David Christie "Rally Down To Sally's" (Carrere, 1983)

Acid House fans, it's time to jack again: "They Call It Acid - The story of 'Acid House' culture" is a documentary about to be released, directed by Gordon Manson, narrated by Robert Owens and with soundtrack compiled by "Evil" Eddie Richards. From the birth of acid house culture in UK in 1988 with roots in Chicago and Detroit to the government attack, its spread worldwide with superclubs, outdoor raves and DJs of the era becoming superstars, it seems that the whole story will be there.

The film also features interviews with Adamski, Alfredo, Carl Cox, Colin Faver, A Guy Called Gerald, Larry Heard, Marshall Jefferson, Derrick May, Paul Oakenfold, Robert Owens, Danny Rampling, Evil Eddie Richards, Jesse Saunders, Pete Tong and many others, as well as footage from first illegal clubs and parties and of police raids.
