dennis parker - like an eagle (mp3)

not to be confused with steve miller's equally brilliant 'fly like an eagle', this is epic disco slow-mo from the man who i believe must be one of magnum pi's greatest influences (check out that stashe!) dennis parker. dennis was born in new york in 1946, and before becoming a disco hero was a soft porn actor, going under the alias of wade nichols and starring in such unparalleled productions as 'secret dreams of mona q', 'my sex-rated wife' and 'raw footage' (yeah, you're just pretending you've never heard of any of them).

this is a great string-led number, recently revived in popularity after being featured on both james murphy's spring radio mix and radio slave's creatures of the night compilation. original props must go to par-t-one, who liften the vocal hook for their 2001 club hit 'i'm so crazy', which for disclosure purposes i should inform you i absolutely adore.

norwegian physicist and sometime dj todd terje must be a big parker fan too, as his recent outing on the superb mindless boogie label was also under the wade nichols moniker. i wonder if softcore pornography may be the next logical step for terje?
