cispas 0 Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 Hi gang, I used to be a dj in the 80s. I'm trying to identify a jazzy/funky disco song from 1980/1981. I've tried on several forums but no luck so far. I've only got 30 seconds of the song. Here's a link : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqhmB8MSaro Who can help ? Thanks in advance !! :dukesy: Link to post Share on other sites

Teez 0 Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 Chord progression makes it sound a bit more like instrumental music for a movie or TV programme. :joe: Link to post Share on other sites
Scottydunk 0 Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 Sounds like something from an early 80s Porn movie. Disclaimer: Not that i know personally :ads: but I did ask a couple of friends and thats what they said it was :msn-wink: Link to post Share on other sites
superstardeejay 0 Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 I also think it sounds like something from a film or maybe cheap american sitcom theme . Link to post Share on other sites
cispas 0 Posted September 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 Hi, Thanks for your suggestions. I always thougt it sounded Italian. The search continues... :hurt: Link to post Share on other sites
fester 0 Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 Do you have any more information about the track at all that might help us? Like where you got the clip from etc... Craig Dance Sounds Disco http://www.discosheffield.co.uk Link to post Share on other sites
Paul's Karaoke 0 Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 It sounds like a 70's era sound track similar to Isaac Hayes Shaft(1971), Van McCoy's The Hustle(1975) and also similar to Soul City Walking by Archie Bell & The Drells (1975) Other than that can't help much Kind Regards Paul Scunthorpe Paul's Karaoke Entertainment Big Screen Karaoke We Aim To Please Link to post Share on other sites
Dukesy 0 Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 No idea what the track is. Sometimes these things can be written as Film or TV music and never get commercially released I'd echo the above question also, as to how you came across it and what it was used on?. You may also like to use the following service / software. I've not used it myself, and suspect that it will only query popular music and commercial releases but still worth a try? http://www.wildbits.com/tunatic/ Link to post Share on other sites

cispas 0 Posted September 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 Hi, I've tried tunatic / shazam. The 30 seconds are taken from a bootleg vinyl 'disco mixer' called Broadway 2, released in 1981, that I rediscovered some time ago in my vinyl collection. I've identified all the tracks (see my review on discogs.com) except for this one. The dj used popular but also less known U.S. and European disco/funk tracks. I doubt that this particular track was an instrumental track for TV or movies (porn or other). I've tried lots of forums, watzatsong.com, music quiz forums, etc... Thanks again for your feedback, guys ! :dukesy: Link to post Share on other sites

alicat 0 Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 I'm thinking Donna Summer here. Sounds like an instrumental from say "Heaven Knows" or "This time i know it's for real" Link to post Share on other sites
