Georgio - Sexappeal

[@STLHouseLegend]

Back then, in '87, this man was one of the leading club/house artists on the radio mixes on MAJIC108 FM - STL during the club music segment from 10pm-12am on Fridays and Saturdays. I almost forgot the good vibes he brought to us as we were getting dressed to hit the clubs and parties.

[@cosmicforcebuss1698]

That is correct 💯💯💯💯💯

[@DjDavidC]

yes right there with The Egyptian Lover

[@kennethenglish5336]

Hey man I moved to St. Louis in ‘88! Is that club THE WIZ still operating?

[@Winnn77]

When I first heard him I immediately heard Michael Jackson / Prince infusion package...Great and powerful songs 👌

[@willsmith4727]

This cat was heavily influenced by Prince...but it was a hot jam!!

[@debiase1]

All ofem was the song was dope

[@vanessamatthews3670]

Georgio was my college friend's cousin. Met him when this album was hot. Nice guy and I thought he was totally gorgeous!

[@debiase1]

Dope album

[@TheTallMan50]

Yep, that was back in the day when the dudes who looked like chicks got all the girls.

[@crunchypickles99]

The nonstop moaning always made my friends and me laugh 😆

[@rubencatiponjr2836]

Ok, ok, I'm not comparing Giorgio to Prince.... but this song frickin jamms

[@bridgettholman4074]

It does!

[@pappagetti]

He recorded this with Prince originally. The interview I learned this from is what brought me here.

[@John923T]

Been looking for this jam for about 2 years I recorded his appearance on believe it or not on Soul Train. He had 2 Body Guards on each side of the stage, White Tee,Jeans, wild hair, and he also had 2 maniquins on the stage to which he ran up to in his frenzy of dance and pulled the wig off... something to see I tell ya, afterward he was escorted off by the bodyguards... Similar to Prince back in the day, I guess Prince was the prototype for the Georgio's of that time. Good Post Peace!

[@MrAntiSellOut]

It's been 29 years since I've heard this song. Thanks for uploading it.

[@monilaninetynine3811]

Influenced heavily by Prince, like so many others. Cute song.

[@dalynnstarr1328]

This is from a 57yr old prince old head. He was inspired from Prince. And I believe he said so. So were many others. Just get over it and jam.

[@ralphwinder2328]

Georgio was Bad Ass! Inspired me to learn to play multiple instruments.

[@ppppssss7971]

Why this guy didn't go further. Is beyond me. HE WAS GOOD!!

[@PrimeRibb69]

He got into film production. He's behind a lot of those straight to video hood movies.

[@radiodj1520]

I Love This Georgio 1986 Hit, "Sex Appeal," Forever...And It Did Played As The Soul Train Danced To #1 Segment, During The 525th Edition Of "Soul Train" On December 27, 1986.

[@MichaelSmith-qn3jt]

I remember that episode. The Soul Train dancers were jamming hard to this!!!

[@MarineSpartan1]

Yeah he was. I dj'd at Cilly's in Hawaii and have a signed album of his when he came to our club and the both of us played some slammin music for about an hour.....and then he sang two songs later then left for the Maharahja, and new swank club that had just gotten a top 100 billing for the planet as one of the best clubs around.......kinda cool as I remember it....

[@mrblueberrygossip]

love his cut!

[@markbaker2788]

I met Giorgio at a restaurant in LA back in the day

[@MrFilmoreJr]

No one can be compared to Prince! Especially this guy.

[@1994cargo]

Who’s comparing him? You ?

[@annaritaranalli1791]

I agree totally mrfilmore

[@simon5005]

I found his CD on eBay some years back and it has all the 12" versions.............great dance music!

[@John923T]

I must say that Georgio's "Sexappeal" has the similar beat to that of the Minnisota sound, The Time, Prince, etc. Love it, this was a Great jam with a good beat and to some of the previous comments true to that it is a weak Prince sounding cut. Regardless still this gets you boppin' to beat. Peace to ya !

[@MrFilmoreJr]

Prince is rated one of the most gifted guitarists of all time..Listen to his music, the vast catalog.. this man is respected by the greats of music. The musical genius has left this world.

[@Oneness100]

for pop related music, sure. But for other styles of music, there are others that are considered the most gifted. And BTW, some of them Prince respects greatly, but it's more instrumental/jazz oriented music rather than pop music.

[@Trueblood831]

Such a feel-good song! Have this many times over...various mixes and such...we performed this as a stage segment (we used to own a local bar...no cabaret license at the time...got one later). We were havin fun and didn't give a rat's ass about anything at all that night. I tended bar, DJ'd, got roped into the corral. Went around messin with people's hair and stuff. Full of energy, this. And loads of fun to play at a party! Thx for posting this.....means I didn't have to go lookin for it!

[@PamelaHardy-q9y]

Why is this song not available on Spotify???😢

[@CliffordBruner]

Because of Corporate Greed.

I used to frequent that spot... then go cruising after. Later on my brother and a few of his friends owned club "Oz". Many moons ago.

[@hunn89]

he used to catch a lot of flack because of the Prince thing but he definitely had his own flavor and he was a pretty cool dude when you'd run up on him in person.

[@lillybanuelos5337]

This was the jam I had on my answering machine

[@dvdlps22]

guilty 80's tune , I love it :)

this is a prince look-alike, great song!

[@arierivaldy1887]

My favorite song on a dance floor.

[@shagw4286]

I remember I first heard this song on Soul Train, and there was a lady coming down the line who looked like this song was written for her.

What ever became of this man he was going so strong the wham! He ass was gone!

[@MrJuly1990ish]

sneak6957 Prince put a stop to this shit, he did not want no one jacking his sound or image, that's why this dude Georgio fell off.

[@josephvalley6654]

He went around saying he was better than Prince or MJ. Huge backlash after his 1st album because of his ego

[@delwiljr7055]

@@MrJuly1990ish I am the son of a musician from the 60s, and have relatives who played in the studio and bands with everyone from the Jacksons, to Sinatra, to Stevie, and 1000s more. Everyone takes some from someone. I am a huge Prince fan, and even visited the museum in Chanhaussen, MN in 2018. Prince put his own spin on music, but when you heard Prince, you could hear the influence of Sly, James, Pfunk, and Miles, amongst others. "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

[@urusoimi]

He was(is) actually a way better musician than Prince...so boo to you

[@MrFilmoreJr]

Then,... you know nothing of music. This guy is a forgotten has been and wanna be! Prince is a true musical genius and a legend!

[@urusoimi]

MrFilmoreJr Giorgio was actually a bad ass guitar player at the time. Prince was NOT. Prince became respected after years of practice. Giorgio could play any instrument well.

[@urusoimi]

Freshest sound in 1986....y'all might think this is gay, but compared to the endless looping of Phil Collins and Chaka Kahn ( I feel for you- the bad stuff) on the radio. This was awesome. However, 'Tina Cherry' was to close to ' Neenah Cherry, and Prince sported a 'Buffalo stance' , and you may have heard the 'Rumors' , that 'Nothing compared to him(2u)', and he paid him to stop making fresh sounds like this.

[@IvanLendl87]

D-level Prince rip-off artist.

[@marvinjones4415]

I'd say C-level as he did put a small dent in the charts. But, yeah...

Well@ Ivan Ostrava you had to be there, I'm guessing you weren't. The new techno abilities & freedom gave us a big funk party!
