Subject: Disco is Closed for Harvey Scales

Written By: LyricBoy on 02/13/19 at 5:35 am

Disco-era songwriter and singer Harvey Scales has passed away.  :\'(

Harvey's penultimate work was writing the 1976 disco classic Disco Lady, (sung by Johnny Taylor) which was the first hit single certified as platinum by the RIAA. Disco Lady was a smooooth, innuendo-laden song performed by a part time preacher... and Harvey provided the suggestive lyrics.

Harv also penned Once Is Not Enough for The O'Jays as well as his own 1967 solo hit, Love Itis.

You don't hear lyrics as smooth as Harvey's any more.  :-\\
