Carol Douglas – You’re Not So Hot (Germany 12″)

Burning The Ground Exclusive 1982

“You’re Not So Hot” is a Disco single released by American singer Carol Douglas whose hit “Doctor’s Orders” (1974) was a pioneering track in the disco genre.

In 1983, Carol moved to Paris and signed with Carrere Records releasing her sixth album (and last one to date) “I Got Your Body”, renamed “Love Zone” in the US which failed to make any impact on the charts. “You’re Not So Hot” was the second single taken from that LP reaching #71 in France.

One interesting tidbit is that the mixer of this release, Jonathan Fearing, went on to mix many of the NYC electro funk legends Newcleus many hits such as Jam On It, Computer Age, Automan etc. Also he mixed the Dynamic Breaker track Dynamic, which is one of the classic b-boy tracks from 1984 that was heavily caned by DJs on all the late night FM-radio mastermix shows back then. Those Newcleus dub mixes are exceptional and still sound as fresh today as they did back in the mid 80s. Sadly he passed away shortly after that. RIP Mr Fearing.

I just want to leave a comment to say how much I enjoy your “Disco Friday” post and more importantly for introducing me to this song. I don’t have many of Carol Douglas’s songs especially this one, and I must say that I love this a lot. If the term deep cuts applies to disco music, I would consider this a deep disco cut. Thank you so much, Paul.

I must comment on this track again since I’ve heard it in all its 12-inch glory. This record is so good, and I can’t understand why it wasn’t more popular like it should have deserved. It is a phenomenal piece of music. I love these post-disco records because they shaped my listening habits early on.

Again, thank you, Paul!!

I like what I’m hearing here, Paul! I can’t wait to check out the full version later today. It’s also great that you pick things out to give us a chance to hear new things we may have missed. I love that you are our guide to the rare and obscure! It’s always an adventure here on Burning The Ground! Massive thanks for yesterday’s Associates’ record and for the slamming “So Hort Your Cool” 12-inch by General Public. I am so overwhelmed with gratitude!! Have a fabulous weekend, Paul, Retro Hound, Martika, Song_And_Dance, and the whole gang. Have fun everyone!!… Read more »
