Andrea True Connection – More More More

6th September 2021 · 1970s, 1976, Disco, Music

Looking at the singles chart, 1976 was as dire a year as there’s ever been. No wonder punk came along to blow the rubbish away.

There were nuggets among the dross. Like this disco classic from Andrea True Connection.

I don’t remember the TOTP presenters mentioning that Andrea was first and foremost a porn star but she was.

Born in Nashville, she went to Catholic school and hosted her own local TV show, Teen Beat, when she was only 15, going on to study music at Vanderbilt University.

In the Seventies and easrly Eighties she was a hugely successful porn actress, making more than 50 films under a number of aliases.

Her pop career came about by accident when she recored a demo of this song – possibly inspired by one of her old scripts – in lieu of payment for an advertising job in Jamaica.

It reached the top 5 on both sides of the Atlantic and made her enough money to quit her day job, where her work doubtless lives on in the ‘vintage’ section of a porn site near you.
