More Than A One-Hit Wonder

"Amii Stewart had huge popularity with her remake of "Knock On Wood." It was not an especially great record but it did have attention-getting punch and worked well on the radio. Subsequent efforts to repeat the remake magic failed ("Light My Fire," "The Letter"), but on her albums were tracks that were different from other disco singers'. "The Closest Thing To Heaven" and "Paradise Bird" were lush, layered ballads with beautiful melodies. "Bring It On Back To Me" was a pop torch song. "Jealousy" and "Step Into The Love Line" anticipated the direction dance music would take in the 80's when the "Disco Sucks" backlash drove producers into the New Wave."
The best old time disco !

"Amii Stewart made the best old time disco. Songs like "Together" "Friends" and "Knocked on Wood" are still the best!"
