Contact!

Across the crowded disco room

Through a maze of dancing people

She sits so quiet and all alone

Wanting to get the disco fever

And then she raised her head

Her eyes caught mine

And that was all that I needed

In her eyes I saw the need for love

The warm, soft feeling

'Cause we made

Eye to eye contact

Eye to eye contact (Oh, oh, oh yeah)

Eye to eye contact

(We made) Eye to eye contact

You and me

Contact!

You were looking at me

I was looking at you

You were looking at me

Across the crowded disco room

Oh, your eyes told me the story

My heart was beating like the drum

As I fought my way over

I never took my eyes away from yours

Not even for a moment

What I saw in your eyes made me realize

(You I wanted) Yeah, yeah, yeah

Eye to eye contact

(We made) Eye to eye contact (Oh, oh, oh yeah)

Eye to eye contact

(We made) Eye to eye contact

You and me

I was looking at you

You were looking at me

I was looking at you

You were looking at me

Contact!

Girl don't you get uptight

Just dance

Everything gonna be alright

Just dance

Take a chance

Oh, and dance

I sure like what you got

You sho nuff looking hot (dance)

I sure like what you got

You sho nuff looking hot (dance)

Yeah, come on and dance

I recently had my retirement party (and oh what a party !). Donna Summer and many fantastic numbers from the disco era featured. And then .... this came on... and I had not heard this for many years. And wow.. I was transported back to a golden age. Where disco reigned. What a brilliant brilliant masterpiece ! And what a great long player version this is. There was not a space left on the dance floor. Everyone gave it everything and I just had to listen to this again days later.. The creativity gone into this is ...sublime. Composition.. orchestration. What a percussion section !. This up there with the best and I tell you... I wanna keep dancing to this. I even dance to it when I'm driving along ! :-O. How can anyone not get up to this classic ! And hell I'm 60. Never too old ! Thank you Edwin Starr for making my night even more memorable than it already was. R.I.P.
