ReStructure Mix Update (12/2/24):”Hang On In There Baby” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Alton McClain and Johnny Bristol

Alton McClain is one of the unforgettable artists of the late 70’s - along with Destiny they created hits like “99 ½” and “It Must Be Love”. Johnny Bristol became a part of The Motown Family and developed a powerful place for himself in the early 70’s with his big 1974 hit “Hang On In There Baby” which is revived here as a duet from Alton McClain and Destiny’s project “More Of You” - produced by Frank E. Wilson and John Footman. This spectacle of a “cover” is one of the jewels of soul and disco music in its blending of energy and emotion. Both Johnny and Alton work their own sound into a very beautiful number here.

I have taken the album version and instrumental from the 45 rpm single of “Hang On In There Baby” and phased this magic into a new ReStructure Mix. The new percussion base is only a light addition to the original production and gives way to a new intro and fade.
