    The third part of MacArthur Park Suite by the amazing Donna Summer and Joe "Bean" Esposito (of Brooklyn Dreams), better known for You're The Best from Karate Kid! Excellent! First time I've heard it alone.
    BTW The Casablanca Records Story 4-disc set is amazing! Contains the whole 17-minute suite and three or four dozen other (some LONG) classics of the era!

      Remember, he had a worldwide hit from Flashdance called lady lady lady. Unfortunately it was not released as a hard copy in the US because of the legal problems with millennium records a subsidy of Casablanca it was mess. But it did make it into the top 40 in the US and in the clubs it was played, but in the rest of the world it did great.

Other singers from that era from that area or Jersey dress and look the same such as Franke Previte of Franke and the Knockouts. They all had the same "look".
