Aussie disco lord Dr Packer, who is currently on tour across Europe has teamed up with newcomer Sonic Soul Orchestra to produce 'You’re The One For Me', a fresh disco house cut with the smooth vocal stylings of Colonel Abrams.
"You're the One For Me" is a song written by James "D. Train" Williams and Hubert Eaves III of D. Train, a New York based post-disco duo, released in 1981 by Prelude Records. It's an absolute classic and its brave to take on this song with a disco feel.
Colonel Abrams (his real name) was born in Detroit, Michigan and is best remembered for "Trapped" which reached the top five in the UK charts. He was considered to be a pioneer of house and dance music in the 1980s.
In 2015 it emerged he was living homeless in New York. Friends then launched a fundraising campaign to help him obtain vital diabetes medication. Sadly Colonel Abrams passed in 2016.
This track shows his silky smooth vocals and is a fitting tribute. Nice work Dr Packer.
