"Fire Island" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Dante's Inferno

• "Fire Island" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Dante's Inferno

Harold Wheeler (Nina Simone, Consumer Rapport, Camouflage, Wing and A Prayer) and Ron Dante (The Archie's, Barry Manilow, Irene Cara) produced Dante's Inferno - a studio group in 1979. The LP featured a few cuts that became popular at the close of the disco era.

Dante being the vocalist for The Archie's ("Sugar, Sugar") and having many past products with successful artists gave him whirl at a disco album. His vocals in "Fire Island" are quite memorable and create a nice feel for the album.

I have taken "Fire Island" and extended the intro with more of a Latin flair injected. The song should bring back a memory or two with disco die-hards.
