REISSUE:  “Don’t Give It Up “ – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Linda Clifford

Linda Clifford is the voice of disco/soul and funk with an Uptown sound and a flawless stage presence. Feeling the energy from Linda has always been through her music and the firm stance she makes in her delivery. One the divas of disco music who truly made a mark and set it in place with pure talent. Her third album “Let Me Be Your Woman” was a double vinyl project featuring a disco-fied version of Simon and Garfunkel’s “Bridge Over Troubled Water” and also the big dance floor hit, “Don’t Give It Up” – which features a vocal and rap which Linda created for a timeline of disco history.

I have taken the 12” version of “Don’t Give It Up” and created a ReStructure Mix to give the chorus and verses the lead here and saved pieces of the rap for a closing edge. This one was always one where the dance floor packed so tightly none of the tile was visible. It is a stomper and one where the rhythm and Linda’s vocal becomes infectious.

This ReStructure Mix is lovingly dedicated to the lady herself – Linda Clifford!
