5.0 out of 5 stars 10 STARS FOR EUMIR DEODATO !!!!!!!!, August 9, 2005

WOW, THOSE 10 STARS, THE LEAST FOR THESE TWO ALBUMS IN ONE CD (HAPPY HOUR 1982) AND (MOTION 1985). HIS MUSIC IN THAT ERA WAS A FANTASTIC COMBINATION OF FUNK, POP AND JAZZ WITH A HINT OF ROCK;PLEASING PEOPLE IN BOTH ENDS OF THE EQUATOR: NORTH AND SOUTH AMERICA.

ANOTHER GREAT ACHIEVEMENT IS THE FACT THAT THESE TWO ALBUMS HAD NOT BEEN REMASTERED INTO A CD EXCEPT IN JAPAN WHERE THEY ARE EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE; BUT HERE WE HAVE THEM AVAILABLE ONCE AGAIN AT A GREAT AND AFFORDABLE PRICE; I'VE HAD THESE ALBUMS ON VINYL FOR YEARS AND AM SO GLAD TO SEE THEM ON CD WITHIN OUR REACH.

THE PIECE: "SWEET MAGIC" FROM THE HAPPY HOUR ALBUM IS ONE OF THOSE LANDMARKS FOR MANY OF US WHO LOVE BRAZILIAN JAZZ; CHECK IT OUT.

THE TRACKS?

1) HAPPY HOUR:

KEEP ON MOVIN'

HAPPY HOUR

JUST THIS ONE NIGHT

TEARS OF A CLOWN

SWEET MAGIC

KEEP IT IN THE FAMILY

I NEVER GET ENOUGH

2) MOTION:

S.O.S. FIRE IN THE SKY

NEVER KNEW LOVE

BUS STOP

MOTION

ARE YOU FOR REAL

MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD

ENJOY THESE LONG FORGOTTEN TREASURES !!!!!!!!!!!!!

One day I heard a classic song by Deodata, which reminded me of an album I once owned and thought I loved called Happy Hour. Well, I really don't know what my frame of mind was back then, but now, this CD is just plain old disco, and not the memorable, catchy, still fun to dance to stuff. Unless you LOVE disco and just have to have all disco recordings ever produced, skip this one. It's not Deodata at his best. Sorry.
