Divine Sounds - What People Do For Money (RIP Dj Mike Music)
Mike Music: We went to Streetwise, Fever Records, Profile and everywhere, because back then, they would listen to your song and tell you what you needed to do right there on the spot. One thing that somebody at Streetwise told us was to use girls for the hook, and it made sense. Disco Ritchie originally sung the hook. The girls that ended up on the record , were the girls that did background for Kool & The Gang. We happened to bump heads with them in the studio,and they liked the track.
