Never heard this song before. Thanks for posting it, Paul! 😎
Have to agree with Mothloop here about how refreshing it is to have Halloween type of records that aren’t the same stuff we’ve heard over and over again.

You’re welcome Jeff hope you have a great weekend. I finally get to see a surgeon on Monday afternoon he will decide if I need surgery or not.
We are all sending you big love and support!
TGIDF — Halloween Style! Thanks, DJP!
You’re welcome Mike 🙂
TGIDF…indeed!
Never heard this one, but I love me some disco. It’s refreshing that your Halloween treats are being chosen from a wider spectrum than your typical heard-it-to-death fare. You rule!
Thank you Mothloop. This is a really solid disco track that I hope others enjoy too. Have a nice weekend 🙂
Hi Paul,
This is indeed a great song. I very much love soul, pop and disco from the eightees but 1979 was also a good year! Great rip and glad you chose for ‘untouched’.
Thanks.
