COPACABANA PRODUCER VOWS TO BRING DISCO BACK
LOS ANGELES (Wireless Flash) This news will be a kick for disco fans: The producer of Barry Manilows 1978 hit, Copacabana is hustling up a disco revival. Next week, producer Ron Dante is re-releasing Dantes Inferno, a 1979 recording featuring disco versions of Aint Misbehavin, I Go To Rio, and Melanies 1971 hit, Brand New Key. Discos quick cooldown kept Dantes Inferno from heating up the charts in its first release, but Dante says, these days, the recordings sound like lost disco artifacts. He thinks they will appeal to more than just retro trendoids. In fact, Dante who also sang lead on the Archies 1969 hit, Sugar, Sugar says if the CD is a hit, he may form a live band to do 70s-disco versions of modern songs.
