Heart and Soul Orchestra featuring Frankie Crocker

Heart and Soul

Heart and Soul's first recording, "Do the walk" is a funky, hustling disco classic, and was made without the supervision of Frankie (it's written in fact by Lou Gallo).

New York radio DJ Frankie Crocker brought the orchestra over to the Casablanca label in late 1976, and arranged the disco-styled tracks for their new look. Most of their Casablanca tracks are disco cover versions of older tunes, for example by Cole Porter. Noteably, however, they covered Cerrone's "Love in C minor", and also "Midnite Lady". These are featured on their second, self titled album. The previous Casablanca double-album features the disco-tastic track "Poinciana".
