My Favorite Disco Songs: #1 "More More More" The Andrea True Connection (1976)

Tweet

"More More More" is among my favorite songs period and the only disco song I liked during that era. I actually bought the 45. "More More More" is one of disco's biggest and best known hits and the most unusual. There is the prerequisite repetitive beat and lyric ("How do you like it" over and over) but the sound is sort of atypical disco with those weird "pops." Perhaps that is why "More More More" has been covered and sampled numerous times by alternative/pop artists, used in commercials and parodied on "The Simpsons" and "American Dad." The shocker back in 1976 concerning this Billboard Hot 100 #4 hit was the revelation of being performed by an adult film actress. Andrea True was a major 70s porn star who financed the recording of "More More Mare" herself. Writer-composer Gregg Diamond went to Jamaica where True laid down vocals to his tracks. A remixed version became the hit. Knowing True was a porn star brings sense to the lyrics: "How do you like your love, get the cameras rollin', get the action goin', baby you know my love for you is real." A strange and different kind of disco that was and is memorable. True's music career was shortlived and she became too old to continue in porn and died in quiet obscurity with revenue still coming in from "More More More."
