The song is mixed by Tee Scott (above) who was a New York DJ and producer. He did a lot of great remixes which are well worth seeking out. He tended to stretch songs out in his mixes -- this one clocks in at about eight and half minutes. For you short attention-span listeners, I'm also inlcuding the Suck My Disco Re-Edit.<br /><br />This track has one heck of a bassline which comes in after the break (about 4 minutes in).

I have no clue.<br /><br />Until recently this song topped my "I heard it at a club but I don't what it's called" list. It took me a few years to figure out what it was.

The man's no joke.<br /><br />Your Sweetness Is My Weakness is a prime example of his songwriting and producing prowess. Barry was not afraid of a full string and horn section and he makes use of them quite adeptly. And, yes, a whole lot of cowbell.<br /><br />This was released in 1978 on 20th Century Fox Records.<br /><br />(House music producer Quentin Harris extensively samples YSIMW <a href="http://mp3.juno.co.uk/MP3/SF176970-01-01-01.mp3"/>here</a>.)<br /><br /><strike>Your Sweetness Is My Weakness</strike>Disco Culthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05141455980059868519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2736461622388264317.post-36931388610908511792007-04-30T21:56:00.000-05:002007-05-18T12:12:11.407-05:00Lorraine Johnson - The More I Get, The More I WantThe more well-known version of this track is Teddy Pendergrass' smoking rendition from his self-titled solo debut on Philadelphia International Records. This version is from an unlabeled bootleg pressing, but I'm pretty sure <br />google and www.discogs.com have led me to the correct artist info. It seems Ms. Johnson released her version the same year as Teddy and she gives him a run for his money. The lyrics actually sound a lot dirtier coming from her.
