Disco "Song" #4
Listen & Download: Amanda Lear - Follow Me
Download: Amanda Lear - Follow Me
Today's track is more about the singer than the song. Sure, Follow Me is a lusty, softly trashy slice of disco, but what I really love is that in this era even a singer like Amanda Lear was allowed to have a go at the genre. Lear's voice is a bizarre, throaty growl, which pretty much amounts to nothing but a constant low moan. She was the subject of an "is she or isn't she a transexual" argument during her time (hint: google her image and the question will be solved... one way or another). Follow Me will undoubtedly not be everyone's taste, but it remains one of the oddest pop songs recorded.
