Arguably one of the most memorable disco-to-pop-and-soul crossover hits of the 1970's is Andrea True Connection's "More, More, More." But, as alluded to in this survey's title, the lead singer who asked "How do you like your love?" in said song spent much of the first half of the aforementioned decade starring in X-rated films. largely in ways that contributed to their being so rated. She probably alludes to her then-recent past in carnal cinema in "More's lyrics, most especially "But if you want to know/How I really feel/Just get the cameras rollin'/Get the action goin'." Were you aware of True's pre-musical past before reading about it here?

True (born Andrea Marie Truden) found her musical renown unexpectedly. As part of her exit strategy out of cinema, she filmed real estate commercials in Jamaica in 1975 only to learn that money earned there couldn't be taken from there due to U.S. tariffs placed on the nation because of then-Prime Minister Minister Machael Manley's support of Cuban Communist dictator Fidel Castro. In order to productively use her earnings, True contacted music producer Gregg Diamond to work on a song she'd written, which, became "More." An album followed, with "Party Line" becoming its second, less successful single. Have you ever had to spend money you'd earned in a way you didn't anticipate?

True and her Connection were not, however, pop one-hit wonders. "N.Y. You Got Me Dancing," which named-checked a few New York City discotheques, reached the top 30 in Billboard Magazine's pop chart in late 1976; but the album on which it appears White Witch, bombed because of her record label's financial struggles. Judging from what you know of her music appearing in this poll so far, or what you may have been previously familiar of it. do you think True deserved a greater musical legacy in her disco phase?

If this survey's title and use of "phase" in the previous question didn't infer as much, True did move on from disco...to new wave rock. The 1980 solo-credited pacifist paean "War Machine" and album of the same title only saw European release and didn't exactly set that continent aflame. I thnk she made a convincing aesthetic shift, regardless its lack of commercial success (and however her past may have cast a pall on her achievements). Do you think likewise?

Alas, a growth on True's vocal cords stymied further musical activity , at least until the mid-1990's, though nothing from those sessions never materiailzed. Before her 2011 death at 68, she worked as a substance abuse counselor and astrologer. Later in the '90s, though, Canadian band Len sampled "More, More, More" in their biggest (only?) hit, "Steal My Sunshine." for which True earned some royaltties. Can you think of any other songs you enjoy that incorporate any disco oldies?
