ReStructure Mix Update (7/29/20) “What You Won’t Do For Love” - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Denie Corbett





ReStructure Mix Update (7/29/20) “What You Won’t Do For Love” - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Denie Corbett

Denie Corbett is a vocalist from the disco era whose first single from 1979 titled “Be What You Are” was produced by Joe Bataan. Her second 12” single released that same year is “What You Won’t Do For Love” which is one of the last driving disco tracks at the end of the era. This one has an ominous energy and drive and powerful disco-diva performance from Denie. It was always one of those big gay male discotheque anthems for me with its strong and powerful female vocal and the underground rhythm tracks along with soaring strings. This was return to the independent sound of pure disco –perhaps the first time Grace Jones’ “Do Or Die” affected the dance floor!

I have taken the 12” version of “What You Won’t Do For Love” and revisited this energy to create a new ReStructure Mix. There are more breaks and a play with the chorus inside the mix. It is a tribute to the finale days of pure disco.

This ReStructure Mix is dedicated to Nick Bunning – thank you for your friendship and inspiration!
