SOUL SUNDAYS



What's up welcome back to Soul Sunday! I'm going to take you back to the Disco Funk Era. Today's artist is the "The Flirts" with one of my favorites "Danger"

The Flirts were a Menudo-like trio created and masterminded by Hi-NRG mogul Bobby "O" Orlando. The group, which comprised one blonde, one brunette, and one redhead, they are best known for their Hi-NRG dance-pop tunes "Passion", "Danger", "Helpless", and "Jukebox (Don't Put Another Dime)".

Orlando conceived the idea for The Flirts, wrote the songs, played the instruments, and produced the tracks. He then auditioned girls to be the face of the group. Orlando often called in the services of professional session singers to sing the vocals for the tracks because most of the performers were trained as dancers, models, or actresses. The Flirts went through numerous lineup changes and with every album release and tour, some girls left the group while others stayed. The Flirts released six studio albums from 1982–1992 and assorted singles. They made several international tours in the 1980s, often in the club circuit, and would usually lip-synch or sing alongside the recordings. This was the disco era. When coke was new, Free love was still in affect & the man with the most chest hair won. HAHA

Thanks for "Tooning IN"
