After finally coming out of the disco closet I couldn't resist but to try and recreate the fantastic sound of Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards. This song started out as some guitar chord sequences for verse and chorus and a simple melodic line for the keys on a midi keyboard. I asked for a big keys arrangement, a Bernard Edwards style bass line, some appropriate lyrics and real drums to replace the drum machine....

What I ended up with is this completely wonderful song, which is a credit to everyone who contributed. Marks' bass line is just fantastic and completely captures the feel I wanted. John did a great job on the drums and Donna came up with a great set of lyrics. The keys/strings/effects and just about everything else including a fantastic vox, a brilliant bit of Bowie improvisation in the mid and a great mix is down to Jay. Vincent came on board and did a great alternative mix at the end as well. What can I say except thank you to all of you. A special mention to Jay(HDA) for the fantastic arrangement and all the extra stuff behind the scenes.

Bass - Mark Guertin (Gerk)
Drums - John Wooten (Jwoo10)
Guitars - Mike Woodford (SnowdogUK)
Lyrics - Donna Devine (Donna)
Alternative Mix - Vincent
Everything Else - Jay Lamothe (HDA)

All this song needs is the accompanying Line Dance to go along with it, and it could be THE next big thing! 8) 8)

The chorus says it all, "It's hotter than hot, way cooler than cool"

Fantastic work!

It certainly has all the Chic/Sister Sledge influences with slight Bee Gees additional embellishments. Love it!!!
