Paul Lekakis – You Blow Me Away (US 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1989

“You Blow Me Away” is a single by American actor, model, filmmaker and club music / Hi-NRG singer, Paul Lekakis. The single was released in 1989 prior to his debut LP “Tatoo It”. “You Blow Me Away” was produced and remixed by Shep Pettibone but failed to chart. I addition the song was co-written by the late Tommy Page.

I recommend playing this one loud the dub and bonus beats are fierce!
