"Do You Love Me?" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Patti Austin

• "Do You Love Me?" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Patti Austin

Patti Austin created quite a stir along with the production of Quincy Jones in 1981 with the LP, “Every Home Should Have One”. The first dance single to breakout onto the clubs was, “Do You Love Me?”

This track was my favorite dance song during this time. With Patti’s incredible vocal and along with Quincy’s outstanding musical genius, this song was an anthem long before they were considered. It is beautifully recorded dance track.


I have revived the music with more looping and repeat of those incredible rhythm guitars (Eric Gale and Steve Lukather) and soft keyboards (Greg Phillinganes – husband to Penny Ford – who is Sharon Redd’s sister). This track smoked from day one and even today sound ominous and just as powerful.

The 80’s may have produced a great track that can even today be as fantastic!

Dedicated to Rick Ashmun for continuing to bring the 80's dance music scene into view.

very nice webpage, I have been searching for a old disco jam that had a Tarzan yell in it with oh oh oh ohhh's in it, can not find it anywhere and it is not that song Boy Tarzan...this had a really funky beat and was a hit in the tri-state area in the late 70's early 80's, if you know this song please write me at: ccgilliam1959@comcast.net, thanks.
