ReStructure Mix Update (1/22/21) “Midnight Lover” - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – People Like Us

People Like Us is Paul Crossley, Terry Owen and vocalist Cindy Dickinson – and together they gave the end of the 80s several high energy tracks. These discs were fittingly an appropriate closing for the end of the high energy era of the 80s. The production and outline of People Like Us were the intense homework done from dance floors during the 80’s from groups like Lime, Charade, Miquel Brown and Hazell Dean. The energy derived from the use of percussion, rolling sequencers and strong lead vocal were all set for the genre and this crew used each part to the dance floors advantage. “Midnight Lovers” is a nighttime fantasy with a desperate cry for the day to pass and a reunion of two lovers in the night becomes a reality. A high energy number for the tail end of the 80’s in the Passion Records tradition.

I have taken the 12” vocal and instrumental of “Midnight Lover” and created a new Restructure Mix with more of the percussion riffs worked and some new segues into the excitement. The vocal by Cindy Dickinson has always been the desperation and feel of the song and is maintained.
