Viola Wills is a landmark dance artist whose career during the 70’s and 80’s brought many magical moments to the disco floor. Her voice is a gentle interpretation of love, heartbreak and life’s wonders in many of her songs. “Secret Love” is Viola’s cover of the 1953 Doris Day track from the film “Calamity Jane” - and is produced by Jerry McCabe and was featured on her 1980 album, “If You Could Read My Mind” and then re-released in 1989 with a remix by Martin Rex. This beautiful number is again given the Viola treatment where verses are gentle and sweet yet the chorus takes us to a crescendo of energy as she belts out the confession. It is surely one of he memorable recordings and gives the original a lasting legacy.
I have taken the 1989 12” remix of “Secret Love” and placed a new reference to energy for this ReStructure Mix. A new downbeat along with percussion is added to assist the rolling bass sequencers into a new arena.
