WHO IS ILANA.

No idea - it's been a mystery for years.

I think she's one of the handful of Stax / Volt
artists that Rob Bowman was unable to track down.

Thanks Soulpuss, I like that track a lot.

I'll have to check and see if this question was brought up in the Van McCoy Yahoo group. If not, I'll be sure to ask. And yes, it's a KILLER track!

Best,

Mark

Only thing I know is that this is not recorded at Stax studios in Memphis. I think I heard somewhere it was recorded in NY and leased to STAX/VOLT.

Lars,

You're probably right about it being an NY recording as not only is it McCoy - Cobb song it's also their production.
At that time Stax were picking up
masters from production companies all over the States - a lot of the one-shot acts on Stax /
Volt were masters bought in by Al Bell.
