"Don't Give Up" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - The Simon Orchestra

Simon Soussan who brought up the first Shalamar project "Uptown Festival", Arpeggio, Romance and French Kiss gives his sir-name as the front to this disco studio project, The Simon Orchestra. It features some outstanding vocalists including Jessica Williams, Alex Brown and Lamarr Stevens - who sings "Don't Give Up" from the album.

I have taken the song - which is a favorite of mine and reintroduced the track with a new intro and a few edits and loops to give it a new version. It is one of those Soussan productions that gives a disco symphony-like layered feel. One of the great projects from the end of the disco era of the late 70s.
