Phyllis Hyman

Phyllis Linda Hyman (July 6, 1949 — June 30, 1995) was an American soul singer and actress.

Early years

Phyllis Hyman was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and grew up in the St. Clair Village, the South Hills section of Pittsburgh. After leaving Pittsburgh, her music training started with a scholarship to a music school. On graduation, she performed on a national tour with the group New Direction in 1971. After the group disbanded, she joined All the People and worked with another local group, The Hondo Beat. At this time, she appeared in the film Lenny (1974). She also did a two-year stint leading a band called Phyllis Hyman and the P/H Factor. Hyman was discovered in 1975 by internationally known pop artist and music industry veteran Sid Maurer, and former Epic Records promoter Fred Frank, and signed to their Roadshow Records/Desert Moon imprint.
Hyman moved to New York City to work on her reputation. She did background vocals on Jon Lucien's Premonition and worked in clubs. It was during one of these performances that she was spotted by Norman Connors, who offered her a spot as a vocalist on his album, You Are My Starship (1976). The duo scored on the R&B charts with a remake of The Stylistics' "Betcha by Golly Wow!".

 Career

Hyman sang with Pharoah Sanders and the Fatback Band while working on her first solo album, Phyllis Hyman, released in 1977 on the Buddah Records label. When Arista Records bought Buddah, she was transferred to that label. Her first album for Arista, Somewhere in My Lifetime was released in 1978; the title track was produced by then-labelmate Barry Manilow. Her follow up album You Know How to Love Me, made the R&B Top 20 and also performed well on the club/dance charts. In the late 70's, Hyman married her manager Larry Alexander (who is the brother of Jamaican pianist and melodica player Monty Alexander), but both the personal and professional associations ended in divorce. Larry introduced Phyllis to cocaine which led to a life long dependency and spent a lot of her money during the years. The relationship was tumultuous to say the least.
Hyman's first solo Top Ten hit came in 1981 with "Can't We Fall In Love Again", a duet with Michael Henderson. The song was recorded while she was performing in the Broadway musical Sophisticated Ladies, a tribute to Duke Ellington. She performed in the role for almost two years, receiving a Tony Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress in a Musical and winning a Theatre World Award for Best Newcomer.
Problems between Hyman and her label, Arista, caused a pause in her recording career. She used the time to appear on movie soundtracks, television commercials and guest vocals, working with Chuck Mangione, The Whispers and The Four Tops. Hyman provided vocals for three tracks on jazz pianist McCoy Tyner's Looking Out (1982). She toured often and did a college lecture tour.
In 1983, Hyman recorded the song "Never Say Never Again" as the title song for the James Bond movie of the same name, written by Stephen Forsyth and Jim Ryan. However, Warner Brothers informed Forsyth that Michel Legrand, who wrote the score for the film, had threatened to sue them, claiming he contractually had the rights to the title song. An alternate title song composed by Legrand was eventually used for the film and performed by singer Lani Hall, formerly of Sergio Mendes and Brasil '66.
Free from Arista in 1985, she released the album, Living All Alone on Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff's Philadelphia International label the following year, capitalizing on the torch songs, "Old Friend" and the melancholy title track, as well as "You Just Don't Know" and "Screaming at the Moon". Shortly afterwards, she appeared in the films School Daze and The Kill Reflex. She would also continue to lend her voice to albums for other artists and musicians like Grover Washington, Jr. and Lonnie Liston Smith, while at the same time doing international tours.
Her next album, again on Philadelphia International, called Prime of My Life, released in 1991, was the biggest of her career. It included her first number one R&B hit as well as her first Billboard Top 100 hit, "Don't Wanna Change the World". The album provided two more top 10 R&B singles in "Living in Confusion" and "When You Get Right Down to It", and the less successful "I Found Love". Just over a year later, she appeared one last time on a Norman Connors album, singing the title song, "Remember Who You Are", which became a minor R&B hit. Prime of My Life eventually sold 454,000 copies to date. The album and debut single were both RIAA certified Gold in 1992.
Hyman's last album, I Refuse to Be Lonely, was a journey into her personal life. Both the title track and the single "I'm Truly Yours" became minor R&B hits.

 Death

On the afternoon of June 30, 1995, Hyman committed suicide by overdosing on pentobarbital and secobarbital in her New York City apartment. She was found hours before she was scheduled to perform at the Apollo Theatre. Her suicide note read in part:

"I'm tired. I'm tired. Those of you that I love know who you are. May God bless you."

She was 45 years old. A memorial service was held at St. Peter's Lutheran Church in Manhattan. The following month would have been her 46th birthday.

 Posthumous releases

In November 1995, Hyman's posthumous album I Refuse to Be Lonely, was released. Although the project had an overdrawn gestation, to combat the delay in its commercial release, Hyman started performing the tracks, "This Too Shall Pass" and "I Refuse To Be Lonely" in concert. The delay in the album's release adversely affected Hyman both emotionally & financially and the delay was said to be cited over "cost negotiations."
Three years after her death, a second posthumous album of previously unreleased material was released. Songs were culled from various recording sessions from the mid 1980s into the early 1990s. Forever With You (1998) contains love songs, torch songs, bittersweet ballads, smooth jazz offerings and uptempo tracks, most of which showcase Hyman's' usual interpretation of heartbreak and strife. Hyman was quoted as saying that these songs were about "relationships gone bad!"^{[cite this quote]} Much of the material on this album was initially intended for her Living All Alone release. The song "Funny How Love Goes" contains a posthumous "duet" featuring vocalist Damon Williams. Half of Hyman's vocals were re-recorded with both singers alternating vocals and providing Williams with exposure.
In December 2003, Expansion Records, in association with Michael A. Grimaldi's The Other Artists' Entertainment (Canada), released the compilation album entitled "IN BETWEEN THE HEARTACHES - The Soul of a Diva". This album contains further previously unreleased demo recordings from the 1980s. Included are the McCoy Tyner tracks which remain Hyman's most critically acclaimed recordings. Many anecdotes outlining his personal relationship with Hyman, along with rare and insightful information about the songs is included by Grimaldi, a personal and professional friend of Hyman.
In September 2007, an authorized biography was released. The book entitled Strength of a Woman: the Phyllis Hyman Story, is written by Jason A. Michael in cooperation with the Estate of Phyllis Hyman. The book mentions Hyman's relationships with both men and women.
In 2008, an original version of the James Bond theme "Never Say Never Again," that wasn't used in the film due to contractual issues, was released by the track's co-writer Stephen Forsythe. Stephen Forsythe has been quoted as stating:

During the filming of the James Bond movie Never Say Never Again, I co-wrote the title song for the movie with Jim Ryan. Warner Brothers informed our attorney that the song was to be used as the title song in the picture. However, shortly before its release, Warner Bros informed us that the song could not be used because Michel Legrand, who wrote the score, threatened to sue them, claiming that contractually he had the right to the title song. So my song was never released. The legendary Phyllis Hyman was my first choice to sing the song and working with her is one of the highlights of my musical career. I personally auditioned and sang the song to her while she was having breakfast in her manager’s office. After agreeing to sing the song, she arrived at the studio and, without any rehearsal and only having heard the song sung once at the breakfast audition, sang the song in one perfect take. Phyllis sadly took her own life in the early nineties. The year before she died, she called me late one night and told me she felt that "Never Say Never Again" was her best and favorite recording.

Alec R. Costandinos & The Syncophonic Orchestra - Synergy

alec r costandinos romeo and juliet 12 disco version

Alec R. Costandinos

Alec R. Costandinos, (born Alexandre Kouyoumdjian in 1944 in Cairo, Egypt) has long been considered one of the original catalysts of the French disco scene of the 70's^. He was also intimately involved as a writer, publisher and musician in the development of Aphrodite's Child with Vangelis and Greek-born pop singer, Demis Roussos. On the disco front, he contributed to the debut album of Crystal Grass, which featured the club hit "Crystal World", released on the Philips label in France. Alec was also the publisher of hits for various artists including French chanteuse Dalida. Aside his name, he has also written under the pseudonym R. Rupen.^{[citation needed]}
His father was Armenian and his mother was Greek.
He is known for his outstanding collaborations that assisted in the development of French disco drummer Cerrone. During Cerrone's tenure with John Kongos and later fusion act Kongas, their collaboration "Anikana-O", led to the solo release of Cerrone's "Love In C Minor". The 17 minute disco opus was an instant disco hit and sent shock waves through the club circuit, echoing Donna Summer's ode to love from a male perspective. Four cuts were featured on the complete album, including the spectacular "Midnite Lady".
After parting company with Cerrone, Constandinos launched his own project, the aptly titled Love & Kisses. Released initially on the Barclay distributed Rei Vera label in France, his two song album, featuring "Accidental Lover" and the instant classic "I've Found Love (Now That I've Found You)" rocketed up the Billboard Disco Charts. Sung by the late Joanne Stone (also known as Joanne Williamstone), with a chorus rumoured to be a collective of Sunny Leslie & Sue Glover, it was the genesis of Alec's foray into the U.S. disco market. It also featured a provocative cover, with four hands ripping the t-shirt of a scantily clad model. Casablanca Records immediately snapped up the American rights to the album, the first of a long term collaboration of projects. "Accidental Lover" was also covered in America, and released on the Salsoul imprint owned by Tom Moulton.
Costandinos collaborated for a 2nd time with French arranger Raymond Donnez, aka Don Ray on an additional project, in the form of a re-telling of Shakespeare's "Romeo & Juliet". Using the same ensemble cast as with Love & Kisses, it also rocketed to # 1. This project was composed completely by Alec himself, delivered in five pieces of in "suite" form, with parts 1 & 2 being the "hit single" elements and the "B" side being more of a downtempoed "morning music" flavour. The project was released under the name Alec. R Costandinos & The Synchophonic Orchestra.
Several other concept albums were produced by Alec. The story of Judas Iscariot was presented in the form of "Simon Peter" on the album Sphinx. Paris Connection, was essentially an album of previously recorded songs such as "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" framed around newly created elements. The gem of this project was a blissful re-interpretation of Barry Ryan's 1965 hit "Eloise" as the key selection. He has also scored international movies such as "Trocadero Bleu Citron". Perhaps the best of his more "underground" or "cult" recordings was "Golden Tears" by Sumeria. The story of a man who falls to earth to become part of the human race, it features hits such as "Dance (And Leave It All Behind You). Loosely, it also appears to foreshadow a few ABC television series developed around the same time: Mork & Mindy.
Love & Kisses made additional chart appearance with singles such as "How Much, How Much I Love You", as well as the title track from the Casablanca filmworks feature film Thank God It's Friday. "You're The Most Precious Thing In My Life" was also included on the soundtrack. Extended versions were shipped to disco DJ's as part of a promotion-only set. Under the name of Alec. R. Costandinos & The Synchophonic Orchestra, additional projects were released without significant hit results.
After his days at Casablanca, he recorded for RCA France, having had success with tracks such as "Something's Cookin'" and "Americana". He also released additional singles in French on the Carrere label. He also produced Tina Turner's debut solo album on EMI, which featured the disco hit "Love Explosion".

Donna Summer - I Remember Yesterday (1977)

I Remember Yesterday is the fifth original album by American singer Donna Summer.
Side One of the LP saw Summer "remembering yesterday" by combining the electronic disco sound with sounds of the 1940s ("I Remember Yesterday"), 1950s ("Love's Unkind") and 1960s ("Back in Love Again"). Side Two consisted of two pop/disco tracks, a ballad and finished with a disco song supposedly representing "the future" that would become one of the most famous songs of that genre - "I Feel Love".
As with Summer's last few albums, different record labels distributed her work in different nations. Some of the labels chose to release the ballad "Can't We Just Sit Down (And Talk It Over)" as the first single, with "I Feel Love" as the B-side. However, the impact of the song was so huge that it was soon released internationally as an A-side. Previous disco tracks had usually been backed by an acoustic orchestra, and it has been reported that this was the first ever track to use an entirely synthesized backing track^{[citation needed]}, which would later help develop genres of music such as dance and techno. Summer's repetitive vocals over the backing track helped make the song a massive hit. It finally gave her a follow-up in the U.S. to her initial hit ("Love to Love You Baby"), and made Number Six on the Hot 100 singles chart. It was also a huge hit in Europe, and became a Number One hit in the UK. "I Feel Love" firmly put Donna Summer in her place as the leading female artist of disco music.
Summer's sexually-oriented image seemed less prominent on this album, perhaps due to the slight departure from the regular disco sound and the fusion of this sound with the older sounding songs. In fact the lyrics to "Love's Unkind" in particular were very non-sexual compared to many of the love-themed songs Summer had recorded (the songs tells the story of a schoolgirl with a crush on one of her classmates). A couple of the "newer" styled songs on Side Two were slightly more of a sexual nature - namely "Take Me" and "I Feel Love". Around the same time as the album's release, Summer would further her reputation as a serious and credible artist when she was asked to record the theme song for the film The Deep by famous British composer John Barry. The song, "Down Deep Inside" was also released as a single and became another hit for Summer (Top 5 in the UK).

No doubt helped by the phenomenal success of "I Feel Love", the I Remember Yesterday album became her biggest so far. It went Top 20 in the U.S. being certitfied Platinum by the RIAA and made Number 3 in the UK. (to this day her highest chart placing for an album in that country). Not only that it produced several more hit singles in Europe, notably the title track (a UK Top 20 hit) and "Love's Unkind", which became a Number 3 hit in the UK, making it one of her biggest and mostly remembered hits there. "Back in Love Again" was also a European single and became a Top 40 in the UK as well.

Andrea True Connection - More More More (1976)

Andrea True (born July 26, 1943) is a former adult film star and a singer during the disco era.In addition to her given name, she had multiple stage names, including Inger Kissin, Andrea Travis, Catherine Warren, Singh Low, and Singe Low.
She is best known for the disco tune "More, More, More", released in 1976, which peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Biography

True was born in Nashville, Tennessee. She attended Saint Cecilia Academy, an all-girl Catholic school in Nashville, where she was a boarding student. She graduated in 1961. True moved to New York City as a teenager, to seek fame as a mainstream movie star. While she did manage to get some minor roles in mainstream movies, including The Way We Were, the fame she sought was fleeting. Desperate for work, she decided to pursue a career as a porn star. She appeared in more than 60 hardcore porn films throughout the 1970s and early to mid-80s, and distinguished herself as one of the more recognizable porn stars in the early New York adult-film industry.
During her heyday as a porn actress, True was hired by a real estate business in Jamaica to appear in their commercial ads. During her stay on Jamaica, a political crisis gripped the island, and no one was allowed to leave with any money. Not wanting to lose her hard-earned pay, True asked her friend, record producer Gregg Diamond, to travel to the island and produce a track for her, which she would finance locally. Diamond arrived with a composition in hand, to which True added lyrics. The result of their collaboration was "More, More, More."
Ultimately remixed by producer Tom Moulton, "More, More, More" became a favorite in discos and nightclubs. It ultimately reached No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100, and a full album with the same title soon followed. The single also reached the charts in Great Britain (where it peaked at No. 5) and Germany (where it reached No. 9). In early 1977, True released the single "N.Y. You Got Me Dancing" from her follow-up album, White Witch. The single became True's second biggest hit, reaching No. 27 on Billboard's Pop chart. A year later, in 1978, she had a second hit in Great Britain with "What's Your Name, What's Your Number," taken from her (second) UK album of the same name. The single climbed to No. 34 on the British charts. In 1980, she released her third and final album, War Machine, a more punk rock-oriented album, which went virtually unnoticed.
True briefly returned to porn after the failure of her third album, but soon realized that there were significantly fewer opportunities in the porn industry for a woman in her late 30s. She was unable to return to music, because of a goiter that developed on her vocal cords requiring surgery, which in turn ended her singing ability. Thus, she went on to live a more private life.
In 1999, True received some publicity when the Canadian group Len sampled the instrumental break from "More, More, More" in their own hit single, "Steal My Sunshine." She has since appeared on several VH1 specials including Where Are They Now in 1999, VH1's 100 Greatest Dance Songs in 2001 ("More, More, More" was the No. 45 greatest dance song), and VH1's 100 Greatest One-hit Wonders in 2003, where she said she wants to be remembered as a person who "gave people pleasure" — then emphasized the words — "with my music." She also made an appearance in the 2005 documentary movie Inside Deep Throat. She is currently living in Florida, where she works as an astrologer, and as a counselor at a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center.

Sheila & B. Devotion - Singing In The Rain (1977)

Sheila (born Annie Chancel, 16 August 1945, Créteil, France) is a French pop singer, who became successful as a solo artist in the 1960s and 1970s and later fronted a disco act called Sheila (and) B. Devotion. Sheila has sold over 23,676,060 copies of records and was the top selling artist in France in the 1960s and 1970s.^{[citation needed]}
Her stage name "Sheila" came from the title of her first release, a French cover version of the American hit by Tommy Roe.

Career

Sheila started her musical career in 1962, after being noticed by Claude Carrère, a French music producer and songwriter. This collaboration lasted more than 20 years but ended in 1995 with a lawsuit in which she won a royalties battle against her former producer.
Sheila had numerous hits in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, playing the well-behaved young girl. The first was "L'école est finie" (School is over), in 1962 (1 million copies).
In the Eight Women movie, Ludivine Sagnier sang her 1963 "Papa t'es plus dans l'coup" (Daddy, you are not in on it anymore) hit. Sheila's music also features in the 1996 French film Une robe d'été (A Summer Dress). The character Sébastien is a fan of Sheila, and Sheila's version of Cher's "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)" is on the soundtrack.
In 1977 she came back as Sheila and B. Devotion (in some countries records were under the name "Sheila B. Devotion"; in others, under "Sheila and Black Devotion") and changed her style to disco. She also started singing in English. She again enjoyed success, with hits like "Spacer" (from the album King of the World, produced by Chic), which was later sampled and effectively re-recorded with new lyrics for the song "Crying at the Discothèque" by Swedish pop group Alcazar, "Love Me Baby" and a "Singin' in the Rain" cover.
Having ended her collaboration with Carrère at the beginning of the 1980s, she took a new musical direction in 1983 when she met Yves Martin, a composer and producer who became her husband. Her new songs were critically acclaimed, but, becoming disillusioned with the music business, she abandoned her music career between 1989 and 1998. However she had a successful comeback in 1998 with a new CD of re-recordings of her hits and some new songs, which went gold within one month of release.
Sheila is still popular, performing successful concerts in 1998 and 2002 at the Olympia, and in 2006 at the Cabaret Sauvage with an unplugged concert. It has been six years since her last studio album, Seulement Pour Toi, but her complete recordings were issued in an 18 CD box set in 2006, which included more than 400 songs, unknown tracks, alternative takes, duets, TV performances and German, Italian, Spanish and English versions of her hits.

"Cathedrals" D.C.LaRUE (1976) Original version

D.C. LaRue

D.C. LaRue (born David Charles L'Heureux on April 26, 1948 in Meriden, Connecticut, U.S.A.) was a disco artist. His music was successful in dance/disco clubs and on dance music charts worldwide during the late '70s and early '80s.

History

His first big hit happened in 1976 and was titled "Cathedrals". With its release on Pyramid Records D.C. proved he could write, sing, produce and perform like a true veteran. LaRue's 1976 "Cathedrals" 12" 45 RPM caused an immediate sensation in the disco/dance clubs throughout the world. D.C. was the first white male to ever hold the #1 R&B/Soul chart position in England. Cathedrals was the first commercially available 12" disco single in the USA and the only 12" single to be charted on Billboard Magazine's Top 100 Singles chart before or since.
In less than a year he began work on his second album, The Tea Dance. The 1976 recording featured such notable background singers as Lani Groves and Sharon Redd. It also included a duet with legendary 1960s rock/pop icon Lou Christie. The stand out cuts included the 12" of "Face Of Love," "Overture" and "Don't Keep It In The Shadows." The album presented itself was a concept capturing the essence and feel of a Broadway show. LaRue's Cathedrals album sold over 100,000 copies in its first three weeks of release but The Tea Dance more than doubled that sales figure and over the course of its life and became a bigger hit.
About the extended break on the 12" re-mix of "Indiscreet" from The Tea Dance hip-hop pioneer Grandmaster Flash is quoted as saying "It was first Hip Hop break I heard...the start of all the Hip Hop and Rap to come!"
1977 brought limited personal appearances, signing a deal for a cameo movie role and putting the finishing touches on several tracks for his third album Confessions. He changed labels because of a new distribution agreement between Pyramid Productions and Casablanca Records. As part of the deal he was asked to provide two tracks for the Casablanca Filmworks movie Thank God It's Friday.
1978 began with the release of the soundtrack album for Thank God It's Friday which included D.C.'s track "Do You Want The Real Thing?" That year also saw the spectacular success of his third album Confessions. The release of the 12" remix of its "Let Them Dance" track propelled the album to gold status over night and garnered him numerous disco/dance awards throughout the world.
LaRue's movie debut was a cameo in the Bee Gees' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. D.C. also appeared in the Village People film Can't Stop The Music (1980).
In 1979 he released Forces Of the Night. It featured the 12" single "Hot Jungle Drums And Voodoo Rhythm" as well as duets with Rita Moreno (Hollywood actress/Broadway dancer) on "Have A Good Time" and Michelle Aller (the beautiful voice on Cerrone's "Call Me Tonight") on "On With The Dance."
As the decade ended D.C. released his final vinyl output. 1981's Star Baby retained the spark and ingenuity that had been prevalent in his earlier releases but with the disco area coming to an end it was sadly overlooked. It did however feature yet another exciting duet with Lou Christie ("Into The Ozone") and the 12" release of "So Much For L.A." garnered quite a bit of positive club reaction. It was the first ever double sided Casablanca Records 12" single with the flip side being the track "Boys Can't Fake It."
As the disco era ended D.C. turned to other interests, most notably his love of photography and graphic design.
Recently (2006) his classic recording of "Cathedrals" was sampled in England (3AM/Bobby Blaco & Miki Moto) and it turned into an internationally successful dance hit all over again. His music continues to live on. Not only are his recordings the perfect reflection of a Disco era gone by but an example of an art that is just as relevant today.
The editors of GQ Magazine voted LaRue one of the 6 creative artist who would epitomize "success in the decades ahead."

Lime - Babe We're Gonna Love Tonight Official Video

Lime/Denis LePage

Denis and Denyse LePage stay home with the baby, and make million-selling records

Denis LePage and his wife Denyse don't look an international platinum-selling recording act that has sold well over a million records in three years. They don't talk very much about the internal gossips and concerns of the music business. They don't have a huge house, with gold records on all the walls. There is no Mercedes in the driveway.
Instead, they like to sit around the dining room table of their Montreal home, sipping coffee, while their new baby shuffles around their feet. They are a perfectly contented quiet. Homebody couple who have been married for years and like it that way. And they are quietly proud of what they have been able to achieve.
Denis and Denyse LePage are known as Lime. And, unlike most recording artists, they do not appear in public, they have no 'live act', and they do not work with other musicians. They rarely leave the 150-year-old farmhouse they live in at the north end of the city; they make their records - three best selling albums so far - on their own, in a tiny studio off the living room. They are, in short, a perfectly self-contained couple who stay home and happen to make a living in a business other people perceive as packed with excitement and glamour.
Denis LePage was always a musical kid. His first taste of music was playing harmonica at home, then the bugle in the Sea Cadets' marching band. 'My brother was a drummer who used to work weddings and parties, so sometimes I'd get a few dollars for playing trumpet in the group.' From there to five years at the Conservatory - 'the lot, trumpet, piano, musical dictation, solfage; their goal was to prepare classical musicians, and if there were 30 students it was fairly obvious that we weren't all going to turn out to be Maurice André.'

Denis LePage started writing and recording when he was just 16

Indeed not - and while LePage was studying his way through the courses at the conservatory, he was also a working musician. He did his first album recording session when he was 16 (for a group called The Stringers; he also wrote two of the tunes), and soon he was leading his own band, The Persuaders - a group good enough to appear on Music Hop, the CBC-TV network pop show of its day. 'I guess I was always a natural hustler when it came to music.' He says now.
Denyse, on the other hand, was a pretty blonde girl from a quiet home - her father was a funeral director - who used to roller skate around the empty schoolyard, singing at the top of her voice. 'When I started to go to English school, I started hearing these great records - people like Marvin Gaye and Ray Charles... I never liked the chansonniers very much; I liked to dance and listen to my records.
She met Denis at a dance hall - 'he was in the band and I really liked him. And the band was pretty good, too - great to dance to. 'Then I found out we had both been at the same high school, but he was on the boys' side and a year ahead, and of course, in those days, the boys and the girls never mixed. And then, two days before Christmas 1965, he asked me round to his house, and I guess that was it!'
Such a true-lite teen romance makes great reading, but it doesn't allow for Denyse's single-mindedness. At 19, anxious to learn the way things really are in the music field, she began to study classical guitar. Her husband, now, grins and says 'she was a natural musician; she had the feel, the rhythm for it.' And after four years of training, she did a year at McGill.
'I stopped playing classical guitar; it was too solitary, and also I started swinging the scales. So I took up playing congas, and learned how to work on stage, which, when I was 19, and very shy, was the scariest idea in the world for me.'

Denis and Denyse became a great team. Denis LePage continues: 'I was doing a lot of arranging for all sorts of Quebec artists - Nicole Martin, and many others - and Denyse was my copyist. Do you know how hard it is to get a copyist when you need one? They're always busy, always working for someone else; hey, she was always available, and she was the best!'

'Eventually, the team began to work for Tony Green, a wellknown Montreal producer who specialised, early in the initial dance music boom, in disco music. 'I'd arrange the material, and often I'd write the stuff too - as a phantom writer, a ghost writer - and they'd pay me maybe $ 500 or $ 1000 a song, and I thought that was pretty good money, because by now I had the first Moog, polyphonic synthesizer in town, and I was learning how to do most of the parts myself. So I could get maybe $ 1500 for a song, which was a lot better than making union scale for my time in the studio.

'After a while, people would give me a little more of an 'in' on things; 'we'll let you be the writer', they'd tell me. That's okay by me, I told them.'
And then LePage had his first hit. 'It was a piece I'd written called The Break, and we weren't even playing on it; it was done by a studio group. Soon I saw it was on the Billboard charts, then they used it at the theme of a TV series called The Big Show, but that didn't last too long. Then I'd hear it on Wide World of Sports. It was on top of all the charts - and staying there.
'So everyone figured out, hey, Denis has made it. He's gonna be a millionair! They said, they're going to be too expensive, so we'd better use these new kids. And here we were, with a huge hit on our hands, starving, because it takes so long for the royalties to come through!'

Adapting to the solitary life wasn't easy for the couple.

So denis and Denyse LePage went out to work, forming a jazz quintet that soon built a strong following. They were paying the rent, winning applause, learning how to get in shape on stage again. Denyse was playing congas and loving it, and the visiting jazzmen would drop by each night to listen and jam.
Meanwhile, their fascination with synthesizers was growing. 'We also figured that if we couldn't get work in the studios, we'd better have our own studio, so we saved up and got an eight-track recorder, and started working in the house.'

It was an intriguing time; on one hand, the duo missed the social life of the studio scene. 'Before The Break we were working, more and more, on our own - doing all the parts of the synth. We didn't have six or seven string players and half a dozen horn men any more.' LePage says.
'We had a hard time adaptint to a solitary lifestyle; for a while we thought we'd lost all our friendes and we were in the cold. Now I prefer to work with my instruments than woth people. I know what these synthesizers and computers can do; I know how to control them and get the best out of them. They're built properly; they don't go wrong.
The experimental work in the small home studio was beginning to bear fruit, and in 1980 the duo's first album, Your Love, was released on the tiny Matra label. Only a few weeks before, they had taken one song - Your Love - to a local club called the Limelight: 'we wanted to know how it sounded on a big sound system.' It sounded just fine, the club's disc jockey suggested the name Lime, and when the album came out, it turned into the group's first major international hit under Lime's own name.

'I didn't know the people at the recording company had all these international connections.' he says, And I was really impressed by the way the material on the first album was edited. Editing records - splicing the material, rearranging the order of the sounds, cutting and fixing and adjusting, all as opposed to simply mixing - was a new thing back in 1980; the people at the record label knew about it, however, and it really helped make that record a hit.'
For a while, LePage owned a part of the record company, but he gave it back to the other partners in the project. 'I hated that business,' he said. 'Talking to distributors and pressing plants - that world is crazy; it's a world where people argue all the time and yell at each other, because what they're all really doing is hustling pieces of black plastic.'
Your love was to become a major hit around the world; gold in Holland and Mexico, getting incredible airplay in France, a smash at home in Quebec. Lime II consolidated the success, and the third album - released last year - put the icing on the cake, although the couple regret that they didn't mix the record themselves. It, too, has had its share of hits - 'I thought there were at least four super hits on that album,' Denis LePage says now.

Fitting the making of albums into the family routine can be a difficult job

Meanwhile, PolyGram distributes Lime around the world, except in Canada, where the Matra label is now distributed by CBS. And the couple stays home in the tiny studio, jumbled woth equipment, keyboards, and monitor speakers.
There is musch less of Denyse on the third album - 'I was busy having Claudine, but I did do some of the vocals.' But the material for Lime IV is coming along, slowly filtering its way through the routine the family follwos.

The duo work on one song at a time; it may take as long as a month to finish a song. 'We're much more organized, in a way, since we had the baby,' Denyse says. Her husband adds: 'We take a long time, because, after all, we have to write the tunes, create the arrangement, write the arrangement, programme the computer to read it, and then we have to record it. And in the future, edit it and mix it as well.'
Their music remains unrepentantly disco - a term neither scoffs at. 'To me, that's the modern sound,' says Denis, as his wife nods agreement. 'Rock and roll is a term people use for what's in fashion, but I find most of the rock and roll I hear pretty stale - it hasn't changed, except that it's better recorded, better played, and more intricate. And now, you have the best of the new artists using the dance beat that we've been playing for years.'
People like David Bowie and The Police? 'Violà! Exactement!' they respond.

The equipment in the studio off the living room continues to proliferate - the latest additions are huge Fostex monitor speakers ('he said he was just renting them to try them out, but I knew he'd bought them,' Denyse laughs). All the LePage equipment is manufactured by Roland - there's a TR 808 Rhythm Composer, two polyphonic synthesizers (a Jupiter 8 and a Juno 60), an MC4 computer ('the brains of the whole studio'), and two digital delays and a Vocoder. The Tascam 5A board has 20 tracks; the recorder itself is a TEAC 8568. All of this fits in a tiny room, leaving hardly enough room for the two of them to work, but, as Denyse says, 'I can always record my vocal parts in the living room - or the bathroom if I want to!'

The LePages have been particularly pleased with the Roland equipment - and have special praise for Ralph Dyck, himself a composer, and a senior member of Roland's design staff. 'He's got X-ray vision, I swear it,' says Denis. 'He really taught me the basics of synthesizer programming. I mean, if you don't know what an oscillator is, what a voltage control filter does, what a voltage control amplifier does, where the sound is coming from, where you can patch it in to get what kind of timbre you want; the right attack, the right sustain and delay and release and all these elements - then you don't really know the instrument. Once you learn the elements it's easier to get right to what you are hearing in your mind. These instruments, after all, can simulate nearly every kind of sound you want.'

Like many composers, the pair have learned to work under outside pressure - deadlines imposed by the record company, for instance - but find that often this results in 'songs that are on the sad side.' 'We're normally happy people,' they insist. Denis adds; 'Hey, you sit behind here, programme some Hammond organ sounds, and play a 16-bar blues and then - whoops - you stumble over a neat chord change, and then you imagine the world enjoying it, and you've got a new song!'
Occasionally, they miss the world of live music, the world of clubs and good bass players and getting into a groove. But, almost all the time, they find the satisfaction of creating their own music, by themselves, in their own home. They don't listen to the radio much - 'except to see what the competition is up to'. And when Denyse writes lyrics she imagines herself 'as a young girl in a discotheque, maybe hoping she's going to meet a man tonight'.
For Denis LePage the studio has been replaced by a more controlled world. 'I feel like an astronaut in a space shuttle. He lives in a sterilized world, with a glass helmet, and he travels outside our world - I feel very syrapathetic to that.' When the astronaut returns to earth, people cheer and journalists interview him, and he has experienced something most people will never experience.
'And Denyse and I feel like that when we have a hit. It's the same. We're living in a hightech world, and we like it very much.'
But, high-tech or not, Claudine needs feeding, There is quiet, now, in the old house. And this happy, pleasant, relaxed couple - whose music makes people dance around the world - seem about as far from the fantasy world of discos and space shuttles as anyone could be.

---

Their last album together under the name Lime is Caroline and released in 1991.
In the late 80's they also release three 12" singles under the name LePage on Prism Records, with a proposed album called Slice of Lime which is never released.
In 1994 they release the album Reason of my life under the name Step By Step on Future Tell Records in the U.S. Two 12 inch singles are released: Don't let it get you down and Your love.

The recordcompany owned the name Lime and did not put pictures of Denis and Denyse on the albumcovers. (Except for the german release of the single A man and a woman.) They also hired in stand-ins to perform as Lime and some of them show up on some of the recordcovers. Known names are Joy Dorris, Chris March and Jeff Streger.

Denis LePage also releases several solo instrumental disco tracks (Hot Wax being the most successful) before Lime, and write and perform songs for other disco artists including Carol Jiani (Hit and Run Lover) and Voggue (Dancin' the Night Away / Love buzz - Denyse LePage doing vocals with another unknown girl on the first one.) and the popular instrumental disco track The Break by Kat Mandu. He also produces other groups like Mystery and Mother F.

In 2000 a remake of Your love is released mixed by Michael Simard and Joe LaGreca.
In the spring of 2002 a new album called Love fury is released. It's produced by Denis LePafe, Allan Coelho and George Cucuzzella. Denyse is no longer part of Lime on this one.

Denis LePage has also something to do with the following releases in 2002: 'Blush - I want love', 'Love Express - Your love is tumbling down' and 'Direct Input - Human Race' (vocals by Denis LePage on the last one). They were all released on Igwana Records in Canada on 12 inch and cd-single.

Denyse LePage is still performing at clubs in Canada, as you can see in the clippings on this page...
