From an iTunes comment :

by Shevy - March 20,2008

"PROPS to iTunes for finally having this album ! The song that SHINES is
"The Real Thing" which has become a staple in the Chicago house/deep
scene of late 80's and early 90's. It's a great song !"

Kool!

They used to have a lot more of Sergio's 70;s and 80's stuff on youtube, but a lot if it got yanked...

Here's two other 80's favorites, at least from the more pop-oriented stuff:

Love Is Waiting (1983)




Rainbow's End (1983)

Thanks for posting those 2 tracks and informing about that former Youtube-postings. Did those include filmed footage of 80's releases as well ? I watched indeed quite some 70's footage on YT this last week.

Here's another one from 1983, which i had for years on a mixtape before i eventually bought the album :

You're welcome ! Yeah, Sergio's catalogue is expanded. I've got different releases from various era's in his career. He released so much albums, especially durng the 60's & 70's.
I still sometimes bump into an album of him which never saw before.
