Diana Ross ~ Love Hangover 1976 Disco Purrfection Version
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 พ.ย. 2024
- By the time Diana Ross recorded her "Diana Ross" LP of 1976, she was already a superstar. The label pushed her softer side, abandoning the dance tunes she so artfully vocalized for songs like "Reach Out & Touch (Somebody's Hand)", "Touch Me In The Morning" and "Do You Know Where You're Going To" Theme From Mahagony. Motown was NOT into disco and Diana was suprised to find that "Love Hangover" was going to be added to that LP. It was such a change of pace for her that she initially bucked at recording the disco song as she was not comfortable with the upbeat arrangement. As a result, the song was not considered for single release until the DJ's started spinning it in their clubs and the regrouped Fifth Dimension took notice of the buzz. They quickly recorded their own version and as it was being readied for release, Motown caught wind of the buzz and rush released the overlooked song and positively stomped the Fifth Dimension version into oblivion. The recording session was difficult and the producer plied Diana with vodka. He had also set up the studio with flashing lights to create an atmosphere to start up once the song transtioned from the slow sultry intro into the disco part we all know and love. She stopped the session right there saying "I cannot do that!", probably because she was not used to the lively arrangement. A few sips of vodka later and the woman, in a creative stream of consciousness completed her vocals, throwing in all kinds of ad libs topping it off with her sexy laugh before cooing the chorus. The arrangement of the song was based on the guitar and bass interplay that drove the energy into the stratosphere. The same type of arrangment was applied to Thelma Houston's incendiary #1 hit "Don't Leave Me This Way" the following year and those two single ensured the long term success of Motown in the disco era. The follow up LP's contained nothing of that style and it left us thirsty for more.

When this song came out, it completely mopped the floor with every other song being played in the clubs.
I tell you, this song would come on and the dance floor would get so packed you could hardly move!
It made the Spring and Summer of '76 so very, very special.
By the way, the mix is EXCELLENT!!!
Sounds like good times
This was Motown’s/Diana Ross’s 1976 answer to Casablanca’s/Donna Summer’s 1975 “Love to Love You Baby”, if you listen to the background vocal singing (namely the Waters sisters singing, “I love to love you, sweet”). James Gadson was implementing that hi-hat that we all just love hearing and makes us know exactly what song it is playing - regardless of what part you enter the song in - that makes our shoulders move in and/or with the rhythm that he plays it in. Earl Young of MFSB fame would later use this high hat rhythm in the indisputable floor staple “Disco Inferno” by the Trammps in 1977, although I’d argue he was using it first before anyone else was when he was recording the earliest tenets of disco back in 1972/1973. I was shocked by reading the above information it was vodka that made Diana begin crooning like Billie Holiday which gave her the laughs and edge in this song - I was told that it was rum! But maybe that’s because I like rum over vodka, LOL. Wasn’t this song also originally offered to Marvin Gaye for his “I Want You” album but he declined it and initially Diana declined it as well until they got a disco ball and some (now known) vodka in the studio for Miss Ross? And wasn’t this labeled “A Russ Terrana Mix” as well?
I can remember how when I bought my very first disco compilation 2CD set that I hated this song because of how slow it started and I would skip it and then, one day, we had started driving in the car from one side of Oklahoma to the other side of Oklahoma (from nearly northeastern to southwestern) to visit my brother and I decided I wanted to see how long it would take me to finish the set if I just listened to all of them and I fell in love with it after listening to first, “Funkytown” by Lipps Inc., “Bad Girls” by the Queen of Disco, and then this gem by the breakout high star of the Supremes. Absolutely no one - and I mean NO ONE - can or could ever do this any better than Miss Ross. If it’s anyone trying to emulate Diana, in a tribute concert or just covering it for their own album, they will fail every time. It was wrote just for her voice - plain and simple. If I had an opportunity to play it for Diana Ross, I’d take of it. If anyone should hate this, it’s only because they got over their “Love hangover” super fast, LOL.
11 out of 10, my friend! Another satisfied disco head here. Thank you for brightening this stormy Friday morning!
Hey, Mr. DJ, by the way, I’d love for you to shoot me an email sometime very soon! It’s my username as is with Gmail at the end of it. I’ll just assume that you do like money for something that might be easy for you (But is hard as hell for me), haha!
sunshine74012 yasssss
@@drewv5119 Yeah baby yeah!
I would like to know more about the background singers because these women are awesome
Earl Young used the high hat long before this was ever recorded. Earl Young used high hat on Intruders records and Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes records in 1973.
I love it. A bit wordy, but I whole heartedly agree. And I’m a Donna Summer fan.
No song compares to love hangover. And no one delivers it like the incomparable ms Diana Ross.
The dance floor don’t lie.
Those lush strings get me EVERY time no lie.... ❤️🐈
Magical and ethereal.✨
All those instruments coming together is smoldering.
A classic timeless! Best Michael's friend! Wonderful times full of dreams! Many thanxs for sharing.🎸🎻💃🎧🎼🎵🎶💞😍
OMG! This was one of my top-5 favorites!!! Talk about a flood of memories!!! It was wonderful being 21 when this song was at its height! Thanks for putting this together with nice HQ audio!
I'm practicing my geriatric break dancing moves to this solid beat
Speed up the tempo. xD watch me do the worm xD
My favorite disco song of all time !!!
Thank you so much !!!
Yassssssssss......
Just love that smooth voice. Always have, always will.
1976! I was 11 years old when Diana Ross released this gem. Man, am I getting old!!! 😧
I was 26, at what age do we mello out rather than freak out?
@@craignehring I was also 11 in 1976...This song could chill me out or I'd act like a young freak on the middle school dance floor LOL.
I was ten when this came out.
And I was🕺🏽 partying in the ATL last week for NYE like I was 19. Maybe 50 is the new 30 idk🤷🏾♂️
I was 20. Good times.
Same age as myself.👍🏽 ❤️🎶
Smoothly, gently stirred... not shaken. 😻
Oh this is a perfect remix. Same tempo. Extending the opening. Brilliant work
DJ DiscoCat oh mmmm, clap and tinkle boom.
Ohhh I don’t need no cure.
Best disco song ever. The lead up and the switch up.
It takes you in.
PEPPERMINT LOUNGE NEWARK N.J. BACK IN THE DAY. GREAT REMIX OF A CLASSIC JAM THAT EVOKES SOME REALLY GREAT MEMORIES. THIS VERSION IS BANGIN'. KEEP THE JAMS COMIN', YOU DO GREAT WORK!!!!!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE Diana Ross. I was lucky enough to see her in Concert at the old Exhibition stadium at the CNE in 1981. What a Classy lady
Quite possibly the most mesmerizing disco song ever. Just so good. Can see doing this in Studio 54
Great expansion on this! So good to hear this fresh again. Interesting and surprised to read of Ms Ross 's lack of confidence in this considering what a tremendous popular hit it quickly became. She had it all along. Thank you!
As always a fantastic remix, and a very nice artwork video of Ross and the Vinyl. The LP shot at 2:23 everyone must have in their vinyl Library, excellence from A to B
Here we go. A song that will calm you with glass of 🍷. Lay back and chill out
Don't forget your headphones.🎵🎵🎵
You're speaking my language: being lost in music!
I'm always lost in Music. It calms me.
Thank you for this awesome work!! To my mind and heart, the best Disco song of all time!!
T he Supremes rule especially Diana Ross! Love the mmmix😘
Es un verdadero placer escuchar temas tan Hermosos como éste!!
La Música de los 70's es Fantástica! Gracias!!!!
🎹🎵💜🎤💙🎼💿🗼👏🎇🎧🎆💟💞😀
You did
*If there's a cure for this, I don't want it* !!! This piece of disco purrfection opens up a time portal and takes me right back to my senior year of high school, what a sweet trip! Thanks for the reminder of a happier era!
Thank you for all the music and extended mix
I just love it. Another wonderful version. Thank you. 😉
I second that emotion DJ Disco Cat Brother!
That's what a call TRUE, PURE MUSIC!!!
This is the best version keep doing this old 🏫 dj disco catv2 u the 👨
My favorite song from that year!!!
The top one for all of ‘76 or just for spring of ‘76, haha? I could name a few more, hehe... 😋
@@sunshine74012 ok, you got Hotel Cali and Bee Gees, I guess and Anarchy in the UK. As a club goer, I would chose Diana :) At least second best, what would you prefer?
Alex Stram Kurs Jones I prefer the Queen - Donna Summer! You had two in ‘76 - “A Love Trilogy” and “Four Seasons of Love”. 😉😋
All I can imagine is being totally high with everyone else & dancing all night at Studio 54 to this disco classic
I told my mom I just know if I had a past life there (Because I always had an old soul and was attached to the 70s) I kno I died past out in a bathroom stall frm partying with the ppl and the music! 😅 😫
@@bella_bella85born in 85! Wow! You are an old soul with fab taste indeed!
Delicious!

Had to post again to say this is a tremendous remix. Really faithful to the original, just extending the quality ⭐️⭐️
I love this song! Thank you DJDiscoCV2. : )
io che o vissuto gli anni 70 nelle discoteche di milano risentire oggi 2019 questo brano mi mette i brividi
Que música maravilhosa um clássico!🎵🍷♥
THERE we go.....! Nice work.
I would love to see her perform this song live. 🎵 I love it ❤
Toujours aussi bon👍👌
Classic..👌😊😍
la bella musica exquisites🎧🎼🎵🎶🕺💃
This is the rocking jam DR is doing it!!!
This Is Great!
At least once a day ever day...since 1976
First heard this at Blackpool Mecca's Highlander Room at the start of Northern Soul's move over to more funky vibes. Ian Levine and Colin Curtis, very revolutionary for its time around 1975.
Thx a lot for telling the story behind
Oh yeah baby...
A true masterpiece... that sultry laugh...
Outstanding
Sweet, sweet💖💖💖🎶🎶🎶 🙌🙌🙌🙌
Ain't no cure for this🖖🏾👍🏾
Alright Ms. Ross!!
TE SIGO FELICITANDO TIENES EXCELENTE MÚSICA NO SE SI ERES DE ESA ÉPOCA PORQUE YO SI
Yeah !
I WAS BORN ON MARCH 7TH 1976!
Super.
Nice remix! I wish you can remix "Theme from Mahogany" and "Took a Little Time(But Today I Fell In Love)"
I do believe this is my all time favorite track by her after Her departure from the famed group " The Supremes." And really, if you ask me, the 1st (slow) part of this track could have and should have been a separate track in itself. I actually like it better than the fast portion of the song.
Virgil Wyatt , it was the Boss at her absolute peak.
jimmie jenkins , that is an excellent way to describe her zenith.
Mrs. Ross, apparently felt the same way.... until they got some more Vodka in her..... Look up "Love Hangover ~ The Strung Out Mellow Mix" it's an extended version of the ballad portion.
@@istankimjong-unbutcantstan3398 Thanks! I'll look it up.
luv u u ole djdiscocat 🤠 i didn't even notice it was a mix ❣️ . i'd like to get a compilation of your stuff - instead of just downloading and converting it. u up for that?
Tune! 😎 🎶 👍🏽
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
perfect!!
This really could be the greatest dance song ever recorded
FAB :)
Spellbound!
Viva motown
the dislikers above can’t be from the disco age or even the 70s,my time....
31 of them probably don't know what Disco even was LOL!
...They be from some of the people who were at the Comiskey Baseball Field in 1979......
Indelibly linked in my mind to the *Looking For Mr. Goodbar* trailer, and the sad fate of Terri Dunn. Still a great song, though.
I drank too much love.
NO 1 AGAIN
Have you ever released any of your work on vinyl ? Would love this and A Little More Love 👍👍
