My God. I completely forget about this tune. It's fantastic.
God I loved that song so much when I was at the Paladium, roller skating 🥰😘
Fantastic. although ii didnt hear it at the time, it really captures 1982 !
Christ almighty...this is unbelievably good!! Mind-blowing stuff
Haven't heard this in over 30 years. tysm for posting!
Brilliant track
I bought it as an Atlantic single. Never heard it played in the clubs here in L.A. but "Hot Shot" was HUGE.
Unforgettable. Summer 1982
High School memories! Karen Young was the absolute "HOT SHOT" on WKTU in New York City. This track was only allowed in clubs. And I was there!!!!!!!
Lorenzo Wright also engineered the sound fx. That's Me!!!
Amazing FX! Thank you!!
What is the sound fx? If you are responsible for this mix god bless you. It’s wild, WILD!
Great track, great memories of one of many chapters in my life, this track makes me happy, its pretty much the only one of Karens that i like but i thank her for making it!
Rest in peace Karen 🙏🏽
I was not aware of that - thank you so much! Honestly, this track just keeps on giving. I think it was on an album (may be called Boogie Fever?) but, to be honest, I'm scared to hear much else from Karen because I don't like her "Hot Shot" (surely transport-related somehow - possibly from the future). What if Deetour was their best work? It's so perfect :(
Very interesting info on the link. I remember when this song first came out. Fast forward a few years to when The Vels came out with an album. I actually saw them live and thought they were going to have a big future - well I was wrong! My point is I guess it isn't surprising that Alice Cohen wrote this because Deetour reminds of the Vels-type songs
the greatest era of music!
Love the baseline in this song. Heard it first on the Dutch Soul Show years and years ago.
Soooo good
Gran cantante de finales de los 70'S.
Nice Post-Disco tune.
I was trying to find this forever using detour :-)
Same here
First time I heard Detour
it's called Dee Tour on Spotify.
The part where the vocal rises in pitch is the one you have to watch for.
hot track alert! hot track alert!
la cambiavo con yazoo..nell'82!! wuauuuu
Just read your post on The Vine. Oh my god, I love it that you tracked down the songwriter and producer. Astral traveling! I thought he was just getting high.
What post ? Where do I find this article? Please link!
@Ryan Belknap the link used to be in the video's description, but the .au Aussie Vine post looks dead on my side, maybe sober tomorrow through the internetarchive or Google cache I can get something back...
From what I remember this was someone's favorite workout/fitness/jogging song and she tried to know more about it, leading to meet the singer and the producers. The article provided explanations about this being their first experimentation on a sampler, thus all the eccho/reverb effects as a "demo"... but again that's just my drunken memories or a particularly lucid dream?
More info coming out soon
Classic
& still being played on the radio. ha.
Was this ever on a proper album? Her other singles from that time were called "No U-Turn" and "Expressway to Your Heart", which, when paired with "Deetour", sounds like the first half of an awesome transportation-themed disco album.
Be in her early 70s now.
@ Joe Smilovitch
Try 'you don't know what you got' you might just "like" another of Karen's. Wicked funk disco, yeah baby keep it alive!
...some need a ship to take a trip,but not this kind,he used his mind..LOL
Slaps and claps
