Question
HELP! There is a dance song from the 80's called either "The Orient" or "Orient Express". It was popular in nightclubs and i absolutely love this song. I have looked for it for about the past 15 years and i can't find it. I dont really remember the words. sorry. If you could please tell me the artist to this song i would love it. This song is one of my favorites!!

Answer
Dear Chelsea,

I looked for some songs titled THE ORIENT but I can't find any one that suits your clues. Could you be looking for the song ORIENT EXPRESS? It was sung by JEAN MICHEL JARRE, a French composer, performer and music producer. He is highly regarded as one of the pioneers in the New Age and Electronic music genres, as well as an innovator for his record-breaking outdoor spectacles of his music, which feature laser displays and fireworks, linking the music with the surrounding environment and architecture. He is the son of noted film scorer MAURICE JARRE, known for composing the music for the 1990 film GHOST. ORIENT EXPRESS is a cut from his 1982 album MUSIK AUS ZEIT UND RAUM.  

Maraming salamat po!!
