Patti LaBelle ~ Stir It Up 1984 Disco Purrfection Version

Sylvester and Patrick Cowley combined their considerable talents to create "You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)" in 1978 and gave birth to a new disco genre that became known as High Energy, thanks to Ian Levine. He took the blueprints of "Mighty Real" and the big booming sound of Dan Hartman's "Relight My Fire" and expanded it with Miquel Brown's "So Many Men, So Little Time" in 1983, turning in an exciting new sound that saw the song peak at #2 on the dance/disco chart."So Many Men" missed a spot on the Hot 100, but its influence began to spread to pop music. Soon, this new sound crept onto radio through songs from the Pointer Sisters who became re-energized with the synthesizer hi-nrg hits, "Jump" and "Neutron Dance". Their expressive singing over the percussive bass heavy electronic rhythm tracks propelled them to the top 10 of the US charts. It was only a matter of time before Patti Labelle found a suitable pair of songs to display her volcanic vocalizations. At the time, she was under contract to Gamble and Huff's Philadelphia International records and releasing songs that tended to restrain her style, while it complemented her vocals with nice, cushiony relaxing music. The sudden jolt of electronic sounds in "New Attitude" and "Stir It Up" made for a welcome change. Switching to MCA in early 1984, she was asked to record these two songs for the soundtrack of a little movie starring Eddie Murphy. Producers Harold Faltermeyer and Keith Forsey gave Patti something to shout over, and she really turned those songs inside out. It did not hurt that the movie hit big, becoming the biggest film of 1984. The blazing sounds of the soundtrack powered the album to platinum status and the spot at the top of the heap. Patti build solidly on the momentum and released "Winner In You" in 1986, ending up at #1 pop on her duet with Michael McDonald, "On My Own". This song is proof that disco never died, it just morphed into something even more exciting and encompassing.
