Reviews & Discussion:
Just to clarify the musicians, Earl Young is on drums, Ron Baker is bass, and Norman Harris is lead guitar and arranger (the three formed Baker-Harris-Young Productions). According to Billboard magazine in May 1976 and Tom Moulton's weekly Disco Mix column in Billboard, this was the first commercially available 12" single in the U.S. Another interesting tidbit about this 12-inch is the Walter Gibbons Remix on the "A" side. Salsoul Records had a contest and invited all the New York DJs to submit remixes of the song before it was released; Walter Gibbons' version won. Ken Cayre, co-owner of Salsoul, mixed what is considered the "original" version on the B-side. Sadly, the album verison of "Ten Percent" was the Cayre mix. | ||||
