REISSUE: "Angel Man (G.A.)" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Rhetta Hughes





REISSUE: "Angel Man (G.A.)" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Rhetta Hughes Rhetta Hughes recorded her first blues/jazz album in 1965 - following this in 1969 she recorded "Re-Light My Fire" (not the Dan Hartman song). In 1980 her LP "Starpiece" was her first project with disco producer, Kenny Lehman (Lemon, Chic, Hi Tension, Roundtree, Robin Beck) "Angel Man (G.A.)" a single from 1983 which was a big club hit and favorite of mine -it had the hardcore electronic sound of the period and a roaring diva-vocal! The song gives the description of the volunteer organization from New York formed in 1979 to help combat the widespread violence and crime occurring there. Rhetta works this song as if she were respoding to being rescued herself. I have taken the 12" "Uptown Version" and created a new ReStructure Mix to once again not only salute the great cause but also give your feet another chance to feel this songs power!
