ReStructure Mix Update (8/15/13): “Ain’t Nobody Straight In L.A.” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – The Miracles

The Miracles are a Motown group which consisted of Billy Griffin, Claudette Robinson, Marvin Tarplin, Robert Rogers, Ronald White, Sidney A. Justin III, Smokey Robinson, and Warren Moore – members changing out throughout various periods.

Their 1975 album “City Of Angels” contains one of the underground tracks, “Ain’t Nobody Straight In L.A.” – arranged and produced by Freddie Perren. The song emphasizes the places where disco and club music was embraced during the early and mid-70’s – gay bars. It was proven to me as my first experience with disco music was entering a gay club and seeing the energy and vitality the music had on the crowd and me.

I have taken the album version and created an alternative ReStructure Mix using loops and some new elements for a new intro and also extending the new knowledge and understanding The Miracles relay in a harmless chorus and mood. It is one of the earliest songs I can remember ever hearing were acceptance was mutual and beautiful.

Dedicated to the talented men of The Miracles and that city, Los Angeles!
