Question
hi there

for years and years i have tried to find the answer to this puzzling question without much luck there is a SONG called GET IT ON BY LISA SCOTT LEE featuring incognito -  ANYWAY the background music to this song is take straight from and 70s 80s pop music tune - where the guy is wearing some kind of a head band and walking down the stairs with disco lights everywhere and dancers - i remember the ORIGINAL song when watching tv as a kid - it would be seriously impressive to find out who the artist was - any help would be most welcome

Answer
Hi Jay,

The song you're looking for is "You Can't Hide (Your Love From Me)" by David Joseph, released in 1983 on Island Records.  Here is a link to a video on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mi49eeCwnVQ  There's no head band or stairs, but definitely disco lights and dancers. By the way, "Get It On" was by The Intenso Project featuring Lisa Scott-Lee - not Incognito.

Thanks,
Erick

I can also research lyrics to songs. I am more knowledgeable in the area of pop and rock songs, but I am willing to research soul and country songs. I cannot answer questions relating to classical, jazz, or rap songs. Also, I'm not an expert on music videos.
