This is real disco music, underground top tunes for open minded people who enjoy life like I do... RIP Paul Jabara

[@bradleypaulus5305]

This song used to tear up the disco. That killer heavy double beat in parts of the song are incredible. Thank you for putting this out!

It's such a great classic club song form 78-79, totally forgotten about. I heard it on the radio and forgot how good it is.

It took me many years to finally discover WHO, WHAT, and When about this score..... Thank you WNUA in Chicago for the only memory in the middle of the night where I heard this as an upcoming teen , sweaty and wondering about carnal knowledge ! And loving every remembrance of this passionate tune !

Really? It's not in the Soundtrack.

[@DENGODFREY]

Clearly talking about The Pines in Fire Island! I mean, what other "fantasy island" could it possibly be???

[@clivesmith9377]

One of many Greek Islands.
One of many Caribbean islands.
One of many Pacific Ocean islands.
Madagascar, Ibiza, Capri, Sicily, etc.
