    The third part of MacArthur Park Suite by the amazing Donna Summer and Joe "Bean" Esposito (of Brooklyn Dreams), better known for You're The Best from Karate Kid! Excellent! First time I've heard it alone.
    BTW The Casablanca Records Story 4-disc set is amazing! Contains the whole 17-minute suite and three or four dozen other (some LONG) classics of the era!

    It wasn't that long ago that I learned there were _two_ versions of the original - the one led by Summer most everyone knows, and a "flipped" version led by Esposito (shadowed by Summer) on a Brooklyn Dreams album. I love how this version mixes the two!

    Funny they're calling Joe Esposito, the guy singing with her, a biker guy. These guys are from Brooklyn and Italian, and that how they dressed in the mid 70's, early 80's. Other singers from that era from that area or Jersey dress and look the same such as Franke Previte of Franke and the Knockouts. They all had the same "look". Look at the way John Travolta and the guys in Saturday night Fever dressed!
