S4 is going old school with a show benefiting the Greg Dollgener Memorial AIDS Fund (GDMAF, Inc.) and they are bringing one of the original disco divas to town. You might know her from such dance floor smashes as “Red Light” and the “If My Friends Could See Me Now” both of which peaked at #1 on the disco charts. Linda Clifford‘s contribution to the 70s music scene was notable with six more chart topping hits as well as some respected collaborations with Curtis Mayfield and Isaac Hayes. And if that doesn’t relate to any of the new schoolers out there then perhaps this little fact might. Whitney Houston’s “All The Man That I Need” was originally recorded by Clifford back in 1981. And now she’s coming to town to lend a helping hand.
Now that’s a true diva.
You just have to love those old 70s music shows. If it wasn’t for them, we would have images like these below. Here, Clifford sings “If They Could See Me Now” with a lot of glitz on Don Kirshner’s Rock Concert.
