"Whatcha Gonna Do About It" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Rozalin Woods

"Whatcha Gonna Do About It" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Rozalin Woods

Rozalin Woods is a disco artist who released one album during the height of the disco era and then was never heard from again in the music industry. The album was "Flashback" and it was produced by Ed Martinez (Papa John Creach, N.E. Philly Band).

The album had three singles: "Flashback", "Go Shake Yourself" and "Whatcha Gonna Do About It" (written by Russ Ballard) - each with the full-potential and sound of the disco period. Rozalin's always reminded me of a sweet-Candi Staton-like feel.

I have taken the 12" version of "Whatcha Gonna Do About It" along with the instrumental and created a new arrangement with several new breakdowns. The song has a very strong emotion feeling to it and has always been one of the likable songs of the hardcore female disco diva followers.

This is absolutely wonderful Glenn! - Captures the drive and spirit of the original, and enhances it! 'Flashback' was an amazing album , and I was very surprised (and disappointed) we never heard any more from Rozalin.
The title track 'Flashback' would also be worthy of a Restructure Mix at some point...here's hoping!!
