REISSUE: “Gypsy Woman” by Leroy Gomez – Disco Video Mix by Glenn Rivera





REISSUE: “Gypsy Woman” by Leroy Gomez – Disco Video Mix by Glenn Rivera

Leroy Gomez has taken dance floors in the 70s and created a male counterpart to the “disco diva”. His classic performance on Santa Esmeralda’s “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood” is one of the most memorable of the period. “Gypsy Woman” is from his album by the same name from 1978 – a remake of The Impressions single from 1961 – and this disco version produced by Simon Soussan. A great disco take on the track and as dramatic as this Disco Video Mix.

I have taken scenes from the 1918 silent film “Gypsy Blood” which outlines a Carmen-like temptress. It is a British film and has much controversy built around the production and story itself. It is used here only as an outline for the romantic edge.

The film was directed by Leo Maguire
