Early rough & ready Junior Vasquez production (and keyboards from
David Cole) on this tribute to Miss Holloway with (in)famous
acapella.
Incredible story behind the record from Bruce Forest (NYC DJ,
Better Days) as retold on discogs:
"I sure do [know the acapella recording by Loleatta Holloway]. I
recorded it. And anyone who tells you different is either wrong, or
lying. Here's the story:In 1985, Loleatta Holloway did a rare live
performance at Better Days. Rare, because she didn't do many, and
Better Days did very few livedates as well. The main reason was
that BD was a round room, and the feedback problems with 30,000
watts of subwoofer output was serious. But Loleattay was an
exception. Along with First Choice, she was the most important
artist for the Better Days crowd.
I recorded the gig on reel to reel tape. I edited out all the
music, and kept just the spoken vocal, consisting of lots of 'trash
talk' and cool sexual innuendo.
For a long time, I used to lay the vocal over various
instrumentals, ranging from house tracks, to MFSB's Love is the
Message. The speaking part was in sections and lasted about forty
minutes in total. The crowd went NUTS for it, and it became my
trademark. Many people asked for a copy, but I promised Loleatta
that I wouldn't ever give it out. However, Shep Pettibone, my
friend at the time, did a relief spot for me one night, and helped
himself to a copy, against my direct wishes. He gave this copy to
Junior Vasquez, who promptly took my idea, laid the vocal over a
house track and made a record called 'My Loleatta.'It was a mild
success, and he made a few more. He also actually put the acappella
on a 12" and sold it. I was furious, and so was Loleatta. Too late
though. The spoken vocal, copied off Junior's record has been on
dozens of records, and it both makes me feel nostalgic, and pisses
me off every time I hear it. Hope this helps. Spread the word if
you like."
Bruce Forest, email, Fri, 24 Jul 1998"
