Music: "Frankie Crocker Presents The Disco Suite Symphony No.1 In Rhythm And Excellence” - The Heart And Soul Orchestra

Music: "Frankie Crocker Presents The Disco Suite Symphony No.1 In Rhythm And Excellence” - The Heart And Soul Orchestra
Casablanca Records
1976

This double LP set was arranged by Gene Page and featured Melvin 'Wah Wah' Watson on guitars, Sonny Burke on piano and produced by Mr. Frankie Crocker.

It may sound as if you are listening to the soundtrack to an episode of “Charlie’s Angels” – this is early disco from 1976. A transitional period when the music of Cerrone’s “Love In ‘C’ Minor” was influencing American productions. Dance floors were demanding more orchestrations and arrangements.

Although not much is memorable here, but Crocker’s affiliation it is still a wonderful trip back to the days when disco music was being formulated and experimental.
