Godzilla Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 A guy I work with asked if anyone could ID this tune. He says it's probably recorded from a 45, possibly a b side and it's on a disco compilation tape that someone did for him the late 70s or early 80s. My whole workplace has been set the task of solving this, and I perhaps foolishly, said "the chaps and chappesses on the forums I use will suss this easily" so I guess in a way all our reps are at stake It's not the sort of thing that we usually discuss here and I'm aware that this thread is no doubt destined for freebasing eventually, but if it could stay her over the weekend so that it's easy to spot I'd be grateful. I'm also sure that there will be some comments as to the (ahem) quality of the record, but if they could be balanced with some constructive suggestions that would be great. Cheers!

Godzilla Posted August 20, 2011 Author Share Posted August 20, 2011 Would try to help out but don't want to down load it. Maybe try you tube?? Damn. My first attempt at Divshare too. Don't know how to make youtube clips and obviously I can't search for it as I don't know what it's called. Ah well - it was worth a shot.

Godzilla Posted August 20, 2011 Author Share Posted August 20, 2011 it downloads fine - shame it's such a pile of gash. No idea who it is btw. I did warn you... I suppose people could just download and delete. I mean, you wouldn't want to keep it would you? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Epic Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Disco Funk - "Baby We Can Do It, Do It Tonight" Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted August 20, 2011 Author Share Posted August 20, 2011 Disco Funk - "Baby We Can Do It, Do It Tonight" Ta for that but just had a listen Epic, and that's a different tune. The one I posted is sort of less sophisticated sounding. I thought possibly European? Gotta go now but will check back later experts Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Wayoutgirl Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Nothing shows up on You tube with that title. My hubby has an app on his i phone that recognises and names tune and artist being played. So will hopefully come up trumps in the next 24 hours. (Do like a bit of disco lol) Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Godzilla Posted August 21, 2011 Author Share Posted August 21, 2011 Thanks for the efforts everyone. I should have said the the guy who owns the tape has tried the iphone app thingy and has googled various bits of the lyrics to no avail. Looks like I'm going to have to enter the darker side of disco forums. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted August 24, 2011 Author Share Posted August 24, 2011 Well it's solved now - no thanks to you lot Interestingly though, there is actually a Northern Soul connection. The record is "Let's Get Down To Doin' It Tonight" flipside of "Burnin'" by Carol Douglas on Midsong International. Carol Douglas was Sam Cooke's niece and recorded a 45 for RCA: "I Don't Mind (Being Your Fool)" under the name Carolyn Cooke, which may be tune that's familiar to some. Here it is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHP7lk6qxnU Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest mrs norman maine Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Well eff me! I couldn't download it , but the first thing that came into my head without listening was Carol Douglas. Wasn't this record though, it was 'Doctor's Orders', which is my favourite cheesy disco record of all time. I spent months trying to find out what it was, then found it and the Cooke link. NB by 'months trying', I mean weeks half-heartedly browsing YouTube and I didn't think to actually ASK anybody, besides my disco-loving other half. SWOD!

She also did a version of Hot Chocolate's You Win Again on Midsong International which wasn't bad! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
