REISSUE: "Frantic Love" by Eastbound Expressway - Disco Video Mix by Glenn Rivera





REISSUE:  "Frantic Love" by Eastbound Expressway - Disco Video Mix by Glenn Rivera

Eastbound Expressway is a disco ensemble from producers Ian Levine and Fiachra Trench. Their disco orchestrations from their 1979 album brought this group to dance floors during the dance peak of 1979. In the early 80s the ladies took a shift into the high energy set with tracks like “Primitive Desire” and “Frantic Love”. It was the turning point and survival of dance music which seemed to morph again for the times. “Frantic Love” is a fast moving dance number which sounds like a Broadway musical on steroids. Always a favorite of mine and a floor packer for my sets.

I have taken the 1957 romantic musical “Funny Face” with Fred Astaire and Audrey Hepburn. The fashion edge in the storyline helps bring the dance numbers and music alive in this George Gershwin Broadway hit. The energy works with the disco number and plays out in synchronization.

The film was directed by Stanley Donen
