MICHAEL ZAGER BAND: LET'S ALL CHANT

WAS THIS THE SONG WHICH GAVE BIRTH TO THE POPULAR "OOWAH OOWAH" DISCO CRY? I KNOW IT WAS USED IN OTHER SONGS LIKE FOXY'S GET OFF, BOTH CAME OUT IN 1978. I AM ASSUMING THAT MICHAEL ZAGER WAS A STUDIO MUSICIAN WHO DIDN'T CARE TO APPEAR IN HIS OWN VIDEOS, BUT I AM SO GLAD THAT THIS SINGLE VERSION INCLUDES THE BAROQUE OBOE AND CLAVINET SOLOS--A RARE, SICK MOMENT IN DISCO PRODUCTION. AND I LOVE THAT ONE MOMENT WHEN THE TRUMPET PLAYER APPEARS INSIDE OF A TRUMPET. I ALMOST PREFER THESE PRE-MTV LOW BUDGET VIDEOS TO THE ZILLION DOLLAR VIDS OF TODAY.



WIKIPEDIA NOTES THAT MICHAEL ZAGER HAS PRODUCED FOR THE FOLLOWING ARTISTS: Whitney Houston, Cissy Houston, Gladys Knight, Peabo Bryson, Luther Vandross, Deniece Williams, Jennifer Holliday, Joe Williams, Arturo Sandoval, Herb Alpert, Olatunji, and The Spinners.
