"This had to take some probing to get Dee Dee Bridgewater's most non-jazz lp reissued."Bad For Me"(1979)was her stab at disco and considering what and whom it had to cater to,it still rises to this day above the maddening repiticious beats.The title track was truly bad enuff,but her glory can really be found in the contemporary jazz/soul of 'Back of Your Mind" and "Love Won't Let Me Go".She adds depth and fire to the dance cuts "Don't Say It" and the sassy "For The Girls",The lp closes with the excellent Ashford & Simpson penned "Is This What Feeling Gets" from The Wiz.George Duke produced Dee Dee for this set and it gave people a chance to see how multi faceted the funk and jazz keybordist could be when adding the midas touch to other artist.If you've never heard this side of Dee Dee Bridgewater,then the surprise will be a pleasant one"

"The title says it all. New York City, 1979 and The Man Larry Levan spinning until dawn. He will always be with us through his music. "Bad for me" the title cut is one of the best club cuts of all time. If you are into the very best of club music you will love this album. This IS NOT TECHNO. Its "CLUB"!"
A great throwback to a fun year!

"Talk about fun. This upbeat disco album encapsulates all that was right about the Disco Era. Love it or hate, you cannot deny that this lady can sing y'all! Sure she has graduated on to the upper echelons of jazz, but this is where she got her start. It's fun. It's beat is contagious and it takes me back to a simple place in time. 1979 was a great year!"
