The last offer from ABC records !!! This last '79 record released under the ABC banner contains the mega-hit single "You Can Do It" in its 7" version.

It was the last traduction of the SOUL group before changing themselves onto ONE WAY.... but that's another long story.

Really surprising, was this choice of ABC.As the same time as they could release DISCO acts, the Co. also signed "White Funk-pop" acts. This teen-age duo alreday recorded for 20th Centy Fox, but his '79 edition produced by Lamont DOZIER delivers the seminal "Dancing In The Moonlight" title. A rather hard to find vinyl. Discover it!
