Professor Eddy’s Private Beach Party
 |
| C-Heads Magazine |
One of the main tracks is If I Can’t Have You from Yvonne Elliman. She played Maria Magdalene in the film version of Jesus Christ Superstar, for which she won a Golden Globe award. She also appeared in the American production of the musical on Broadway, where she met her later husband Bill Oakes, the president of RSO Records. He introduced her to Eric Clapton, who asked her to sing backup vocals on I Shot the Sheriff. Label companions Barry and Robin Gibb wrote Love Me for her, which became a worldwide hit and paved the way for her greatest chart success, If I Can’t Have You from the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack. By the end of the 1970s, however, she became unhappy with her image as a disco diva and quite suddenly she went off the radar.
While mixing First Choice's Dr Love, Tom Moulton suffered from a heart attack, but he waited more than four hours to go to hospital, because he wanted to finish the track first. The doctor he spoke was not exactly Dr Love and was really pissed that Tom had not come any earlier. He told him that it could have been his final mix… If the track sounds familiar, Mary J. Blige sampled Dr Love on her new single Only Love.
Enjoy the mix with Professor Eddy as your lifeguard! :-)
