Lorraine McKane – Let The Night Take The Blame

I can’t believe I forgot to play this at the Laforce and Stevens party at The Eagle…

This is truly classic gay disco. It’s like disco Scarlatti. The arpeggios in the breakdown bring the classical drama and the arrangement is superior. The feeling is melancholy but energized – fully alive. The lyrics encourage abandoning your concepts of your own lifetime and living only for “these few hours.” Wow. As I look at it now what seemed then to be so shallow and fleeting appears to be so deep and enduring… or am I (still) just too much?

Ladies and gentlemen, from 1984 and Beyond, Profile Records recording artist, Miss Lorraine McKane
