Linda Imperial is one of high-energy music’s lasting talents. Her recording career in the trio called Loverde featuring Frank Loverde, Peggy Gibbons and Linda - releasing big clubs hits “Die Hard Lover” in 1982 and eventually going solo in 1985 where she recorded her own dance floor classics “Stranger”, “Fire”, “Killing Me Softly”, “Get Here” and “Where The Boys Are” from 1998 - produced by Chris Cox. Linda’s treatment of the 1960 Connie Francis song “Where The Boys Are” and also from the light hearted comedy/romance film by the same name is flawless. The energy is driven by Chris’ pumping techno arrangement and presents a stage for Linda’s fabulous rendition of this classic. This single also gives us an opportunity to hear Linda’s vocal range and dedication to her craft.
I have taken the 12” versions of Linda’s “Where The Boys Are” and pieced parts of the three versions into one concise ReStructure Mix. There is a bit of play using Linda’s lush-notes and a few new breakdowns to give this track a new identity.
