Star Cruiser is a studio project from producer Gregg Diamond (Andrea True Connection, Bionic Boogie, Hardware) from 1978 and released on Henry Stone’s Marlin Records label. The project highlights not only Diamond’s studio magic in creating a slick sound for disco but also features in this vocal ensemble, Diva Gray, Gordon Grody, Jocelyn Brown and Zach Sanders. “Fancy Dancer” is the low groove which Diamond created with his early production of “More, More, More” by Andrea True Connection – a sound called “boogie music” and eventually “disco”. Diva Gray is the lead on this one and gives off the early injection of disco funk crossover in the chic-est sense. It is not hard to understand how Gray was transformed into many studio projects including Lemon, Oyster and he solo career.
I have taken the album version of “Fancy Dancer” and reinjected a heavy drop beat below intro segments and percussion in this ReStructure Mix. The rearrangement is provided to relay the power in each portion of this disco-funk number.
