Ethel's voice lands amidst the song like a comet colliding with a planet!

I wonder if she's even heard the backing tracks when she was singing the melody line.
I need to know how this album was recorded.
Unsurprisingly...
Quote :
Each of the songs was recorded in only one take and arranged vocally the way she always recorded them, with disco instrumentation added later as a backtrack.
Oh okay. I hope she heard the finished product.
I can well imagine, not.

It is over.
That was an album that I felt lacked a certain variety.
Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it.

I thought the instrumentation was almost as good and distinctive as her voice. We got a genuinely decent band overall and something rivalling genuine disco hits of the time.
I hope Ethel recorded many more disco albums after this one's major success.
