I've been trying to find/remember this disco song forever, but I've tried here are no one's found it yet. It's very explicit about guys picking up other guys in the park, with music at the beginning and end and this long rap-ish and very risque description in the middle. Was out in the early 80s. If that sounds familiar to you, could you post it here? TIA.

Randy mostly avoided disco fare. And isn't "Street Life" a Crusaders hit (with Randy on vocals)?

Suzi Lane, who made one great Moroder-produced album, shortly thereafter got in a car accident which seriously disfigured her face, and then became a plus-sized model.

Loleatta Holloway is one of the Queens of Disco. She only lesser known relative to Donna Summer but is otherwise known to all fans of the genre.
