🆗 no auge da discoteca 🎼

[@stevec9102]

Was that Jerry Lewis voice at the very beginning? I used to dance to this at the discoteques back in the late 70's. Always loved this, especially the long 12" disco version.

[@bernardrubin5816]

Yes it was Jerry. They appeared at his MDA appeal.

[@isaiahgarrett8118]

it’s nice to hear those mics are ON, in an era where shiny, glossy lip-syncs often reigned supreme.
