BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1979
DISCO FRIDAY!
Sterling Harrison was an American soul singer, born July 19, 1941 in Richmond, Virginia and died August 21, 2005.
In 1979 “The Holland-Dozier-Holland production team signed Harrison to Motown, and he cut a would-be roller disco anthem for the label called “Roll Her, Skate Her,” but the deal ended after the single flopped, and a 1980 album for Atlantic fared no better.”
The song was included on a February 1983 episode of the sitcom Diff’rent Strokes titled Family On Ice. The song is played while Dorothy Hammill and Dana Plato are ice-skating.
