Gq - Disco Nights [CD]

First time ever on CD for GQ's 1979 album Disco Nights, expanded with 5 bonus tracks and remastered from the original master tapes. The four members of GQ - Emmanuel Rahiem LeBlanc, Keith "Sabu" Crier, Herb Lane, and Paul Service - first recorded as the Rhythm Makers for Vigor Records. Their smash "Disco Nights (Rock Freak)" was first recorded on Vigor as "Soul on Your Side"; the track is identical, but a new title and lyrics were added to cash in on the disco craze. "Disco Nights" topped the R&B charts for two weeks in 1970. LeBlanc first recorded at the tender age of 13 with a group he formed called Sons of Darkness. GQ was self-contained and wrote most of the material on this LP, except for A Taste of Honey's "Boogie Oogie Oogie" and Billy Stewart's classic "I Do Love You," which nearly went to number one also. "It's Your Love" is a beautiful, airy-sounding ballad that is uniquely arranged; the enthusiastic, positive message of "Make My Dream a Reality" will have you disco dancing to it's lively beats and urgent, pleading vocals. Limited edition of 2,000.
