Luisa Fernandez - Disco Darling (1978) (LP) - €10,00

Luisa Fernandez (born 14 August 1961) is a Spanish-born, Germany based pop singer. She is perhaps best known for her hit single, "Lay Love on You" from 1978.

Surely many would remember this singer from the 70s who brought in Euro pop and disco to the fore and made everyone dance to her tunes. 

The lady we are talking about is Luisa Fernandez a Spanish-born singer, based in Germany. She was popular during the disco era of the 1970s, and scored a massive hit with "Lay Love On Me" in 1978 which was one of the toppers on this album.

This album proves that you can actually produce a decent disco album and even with a Spanish song "Granada" make it to the top. With its fab acoustic drums and smooth vocals the Spanish song was a super hit on its release.

Luisa Fernandez was really a sweet teenager then, making such funky dance music that you just had to hit the dance floor. but she was absolutely no singer when she started out. 

Fernandez grew up in Galicia, Spain, and discovered her passion for singing early. Her talent was officially discovered in a contest at the age of 15. A deal with Warner Brothers and her first single hits in the disco era in Europe followed. 

After meeting her future husband, they formed the duo Luisa Fernandez and Peter Kent and had several European pop hits in Spanish, amongst them Solo por ti, that can be heard on European radio stations even today.

Her other songs on this album like "Cool it, Baby", "I Love to Love you (Love to Love Me)", "Give Love a Second Chance" and the peppy "Stop (When You Do What You Do)", hit the peak of this 10 song album filled with disco beats. 

Almost every track on this album has an infectious juicy hook to it and a dance beat from this beautiful lady. "Dance, Baby Dance Around" and "Make Me Feel Alright" shows her slow side with the pitch slowing increasing with the flow of music. 

Her soaring vocals never fail, with her saucy lyrics never failing to surprise and seduce the most handsome hunk.

A close listen to the songs and you would notice some male studio voices covered at times like Dance, Baby Dance Around. 

But when you really listen to her vocals, you will get cold shivers down your spine, because it really so beautiful and sweet.
