Ruth “Silky” Waters is one of disco music's supreme moments where the anthem came alive in stark mirrored lights. Her album “Never Gonna Be The Same” from 1979 was produced by Mr. John Davis and features strings and horns from Don Renaldo and percussion performed by Larry “B” Washington – a full disco injection of power and love. Her first release of the title track, “Never Gonna Be The Same” was a huge success in many clubs and disco radio airplay – the emotion captured by Ms. Waters leaves one wanting to grab a handkerchief between breaks. “Start A New Affair” was the second single from the album to bring about the same feel – a positive look at a one night stand where love seems promising and missing at the moment. Ruth delivers another powerful performance here. It gives moments of the song a soaring energy and the promise of love great potential.
I have taken the album version and worked a lengthier ReStructure Mix using the build from the closing as the slow climb in reverse. It has a few more breakdowns to give that emotion an opportunity to be recognizes. One track that always worked for me during its release and also gave me a wonderful place on the sideline of many dance floors watching dancers dance into a frenzy.
This ReStructure Mix is dedicated to Nick and Lindsay – thank you again boy! Can I ever get enough of your requests, love and devotion? No. I will always be there for you as you always are. Much love.
