REISSUE: "I Will Follow Him” - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Claudja Barry

 

REISSUE: "I Will Follow Him” - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Claudja Barry Claudja Barry is one of the icons of the disco era. Her music has always been aimed at the dance floor and we are so grateful. A unique falsetto voice with a sensual lure is not the only asset this diva possesses – her stage presence is always powerful and dull of energy. A few of her big hits include, “Sweet Dynamite”, “Boogie Woogie Dancin’ Shoes”, “Johnny, Johnny Please Come Home”, and “Dancin’ Fever”. The 70s was truly an event thanks to Claudja and her music. In the early 80s she stood her ground for her dance fans and maintained more hits and plenty of diversity among their production and her vocal performances. “I Will Follow Him” is one of Claudja’s 1982 releases and was produced by legendary Jurgen Kordulesch (Disco Circus, Araxis, Lipstique) and is a cover of 1963 pop track from Little Peggy March. Claudja hits the spot with this 80s electro-disco version. Her vocal and the hard hitting vibe make this one a beautiful and invigorating version. I have taken the 12” version of “I Will Follow Him” and pieces of the original to recreate a new ReStructure Mix to pay homage to Claudja and Jurgen for their wonderful contributions to the dance floor and our hearts. This remix plays out with more effects and some new play with Claudja’s vocal.
