Teresa Wiater – Once And For All (Special Disco Mix) (US 12″)

Burning The Ground Exclusive 1979

“Once And For All” is a 1979 single released by the disco singer Teresa Wiater. The song became a minor hit for Wiater, who unfortunately fell into obscurity after recording only two albums for United Artists Records.

Teresa Wiater was the vocalist who recorded Édith Piaf’s “La Vie En Rose” in 1977 for remixer/producer Tom Moulton. However, Teresa’s version went unreleased. Grace Jones obtained an acetate pressing of Wiater’s unreleased recording and convinced Tom to give it to her. The rest is history, as it became popular all over Europe and other parts of the world.

I found this record in a dollar bin that looked like it had never been played, so I grabbed it. The 12″ is a time capsule of what I imagine life was like in NYC during the disco era. I’m sure it got some rotation at Studio 54.
