More (cover)
What a delightful arrangement of a memorable Latin standard. I am always pleased to hear different interpretations of strong compositions like MORE. When it comes to breathing new life into fine old music, you show one of many possibilities.
Really dig the rhythm of this track. Very laid back and almost Latin feel. Some cool ideas, musically throughout as well. Enjoyed this. Thumbs
Not familiar with the original but this is a great track anyway. Love the retro organ sounds. Rated. John & Paul
Brilliant I love your version More :-o No I really do.........David
Sounds like many a living room Wurlitzer or Glubransen Organ with the auto walking bass and auto rhythm..one man band instruments from the late 50s and 60s...something that harkens to the simpler times of music in the parlor..music made easily accessible. Funny, all of that from this cover...Olivero got an Oscar nomination for this movie sound-track, I think...enjoyed this trip down memory lane, Fondue Bros. :) Thumbs!
This really takes me back...to early childhood. ..and the park, near where I used to live...where the music from the skating rink used to waft through the airwaves! Happy days! keith
what a great version of this song.. I might be older then the rest, but I hear the 50's TV and movie theme sound track.. This is what "musac" should have been..
I love and am totally digging these cool Latin beats, its a good, good feeling, an dI love the organ sound, reminds me of fun times, when the Clowns weren't evil? All jokes aside, this is a cracking tune, and it deserves to do well, I love it! Cheers, Andrew
this is different its very 70s in style with a hint of the sixties with a nice beat an enjoyable track
The Fondue Brothers
It’s hard to believe that it’s nearly forty years since the dance floors of the world pulsated to the sound of DISCO. From New York to Tokyo the fashionable elite would boogie to the sounds of Earth Wind And Fire, Chic and Gloria Gaynor.
One of the leading exponents of the high energy dance scene were The Fondue Brothers with hits such as "Gonna Lurve Ya Body", "Get Up, Get Down" and "Blow Your Funky Horn". But their story goes back much further.
Born at a very early age in Hicksville West Virginia, Carl and Bobby were the youngest of nine children. Their parents, Reg and Maud raised them the best they could in the post war depression. Like most Baptist families the Fondues were regular churchgoers and it was at the passionate gospel services that Carl and Bobby honed their singing voices.
In their adolescent years the brothers toured local youth clubs and retirement homes as part of the harmony vocal group The Edsels. It was around this time that their potential was spotted by Platter Records producer Tony Salami. The first disc they cut with Platter Records "Please Don’t Cry On Me" was an early success, charting at number 51.
During the turbulent decade of the Sixties, after a brief tour in Vietnam, the brothers found themselves in San Francisco. In the latter half of that crazy decade they fronted Psychedelic Funk band Sons Of The Purple Mushroom. However after several onstage busts and a conservative backlash over their massive hit "I’ll Be Your Pimp" the band split and the Fondues retreated into a life of Transcendental meditation.
After almost a decade in the musical wilderness a former high school friend Joey Dyson, now a successful TV producer persuaded the brothers to provide the Theme tune for the (now cult) cop series LA Dog Patrol. Several TV and Movie offers followed including Jaws 6, Agent Brad Colon and The Sister Mary Maguire hour.
Then, In the mid 70’s the DISCO phenomenon exploded onto the worlds dance floors. Instantly Carl and Bobby knew (in their own words) "This was the reason they had been put on this Earth". They teamed up with legendary producer Chuck Merengue and the rest they say is history.
Who can forget the massive floor fillers "Kung Fu Bump", "Handbag Hustle" and "Bongo Baby" (recently sampled by Lil Winky).
Carl and Bobby now live in Cleethorpes England where they still tour the UK and Europe.
