Patrick Cowley Menergy

[MatthewYoungProducer]

This sounds pumped-up compared to the original? Did you putted it trough some kind of FX processor?

[BrunoFrance1974]

This guy was THIRTY-TWO when he died. This makes me so sad. May he and Sylvester rest in peace.

@rios3022 hola¡¡¡ tienes mucha razon ES UNA RELIQUIA pero con mucho valor de aquellos tiempos y lo mejor de la mùsica, quiero decirte que yo tenia el HOT PLATE 14 tambien en 33 revol. pero en un descuido lo partieron a la mitad y era el ùnico que tenia y conservaba mucho hasta que se muriò, no te imaginas como me puso triste jajaja y eso que no era una persona jajajaa., Muy buena mùsica es la mejor y esta de Patrick cowley es lo MAXIMO, que bien suena en el HOT PLATE 3 **cuidalo mucho" SALUDOS.

[pepperonibill]

HEY KEVBEAR45! I DO remember going out to the clubs in the 80's dancing my ass off to this song! It was one of my faaaaaaaavorites! DAMN I thought Paul Parker was HOT, and missed seeing him by one fucking week performing at TRAX in NYC! DAMN! Would have loved to see him. However, I did the the opportunity to meet and chat with the original Village People (LOVED Glenn Hughes, the Leather Guy!) . I fucking miss the late 70's (disco era) and the early to mid 80s!

[zackjp]

@pepperonibill i wish i could of been there being bisexual and a teenager now a days sucks

[pianoman74]

WHOA! Superb song! Well, I hate to say it, but even Bobby O was a THIEF at times. This song here is from 1981. Now listen to "Shoot Your Shot" (1982) by Divine and make up your own opinion, who stole from whom?!!

[mmsyeah]

If this is gay, the gays know what is music to dance baby! if i was a man, i have sure, i'd a super gay! o/ with prideeee! cause i love everythin' they do!

[kevbear45]

If you were young and gay in the early 1980 this was THE SONG, I was and how i remember the wonderful nights at the culbs with all my friends going out on fri or sat night to all the hot culbs, dancing till dawn, finding a new lover, dancing your ass off till at least 5 in the morning, going home and having hot sex with who ever you picked uped that night.............oh to be 22 again.......we had the best time..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RobartsKenalcon]

@kevbear45 I could not agree with you more....I came out in 1983.....I was 23 yrs old!!! I had the time of my life.....I would sell my soul to do it all over again. I was young and beautiful and had so many friends that I loved so much...a lot of them are gone now. But I have the memories...they sustain me.

[CrazyShakaZulu]

@kevbear45 How are you still alive? How many friends did you see die?

[toolman30044]

@CrazyShakaZulu I survived by being born about 2 years too late. And let's see. 99.999% of the people I know from that time are gone.

[an7r1x]

@kevbear45 I know exactly how you feel.

[doggieman1961]

@kevbear45 i wasnt gay but still loved the sng and artist

[ladifecal]

[djmusicjac]

Awesome classic Patrick Cowley music lives on and on, after his death, he is still as popular today as ever, leaving legacy

[coltstiger]

i bought this when it first came out, still have it all these years later and it still sounds awesome to this day!

[loonysurgtech]

Thank God for YouTube! This music brings back so many awesome memories of dancing till the wee morning hours at the club Trocadero in S.F. in the early 80's! I love it today as much as I did then : )

[stephenwaynereno]

@loonysurgtech

I was there to… dancing my face off Sunday night tea dance 83/84, usually always ended up at "the end up" Monday morning well after 6AM.

Stephen Wayne Reno Tuesday, June 22, 2010

[cekck]

@loonysurgtech HELLO!!!...just wanted to say I share your memories of the

trocadero also, i even still have my membership card from that magic place.

ah, to be 28 again and dancing at the troc till 3 in the mornin'

[kortile]

the best music........

[pygar020]

cowley's statement number 1

[comiclx]

@pygar020 : This Cowley's statement number 2 IMO.

Megatron Man is his masterpiece !!!

[Papsmeas]

@TheGTAgta Yes, I agree. It has the same kinda vibe to it.

[Rubberpool1]

Believe it or not.. I do have this one on a 12" Vinyl... original :-). And more of him....I just think it's great...

[MacraStraba]

No surprise why this was picked for The Ballad of Gay Tony. Just look at the title.

[Planetcol3]

GAy tony ftw

[R3DMAN451]

My money is DEFINITELY on Vice City, i hope it has music ranging from 70's, 80's, 90's and now.

[Papsmeas]

@R3DMAN451 - Vice City is my favorite GTA. I hope they go back there like they did with Liberty City. Imagine Vice City with all the current gen upgrades. I would lose myself for 100's of hours in the game like I did with Vice City....

[4arms444]

is this song about gays?

[pygar020]

@4arms444 lol what do yo think

[jrod3137]

the birth of modern day trance & techno. But of course american made. !

[rhylmark]

from the first opening bars......brill-i--ant!!

[Papsmeas]

The Ballad of Gay Tony - this song rocks. I hope the next GTA goes back to Vice City.....

[andrewjelen]

no vice city sorry but if they dont get any votes for new citys sa it might be

[ticalh76]

There's a rumour that says it would go to Seagull (which would be Seattle). But Rockstar hasn't said anything yet.

[Papsmeas]

Yeah I know. I hope they stay in either Vice City or somewhere in San Andreas. Or perhaps both. Imagine being able to jet between Vice City and San Fiero?

[ticalh76]

Yeah, that'd be awesome ! But it would take a shit load of time to get this done, and then it might lag a lot, or there might be lots of loading and stuff.

But it would be awesome.

But I don't know, I'd still like to see what a new city would look like and all. Will they use the same graphics ? But they said there woul be at least 5 add ons for gta iv, and they only got two out, so I don't know... xD

[Leslieeeedxo]

@Papsmeas I second that!

[TrAs1993]

@Papsmeas: or Los Santos :)

[cruz1216]

@Papsmeas hope too men... i have many good times playing that game ...

[BadMotherFukker]

@Papsmeas Might aswell hope there WILL be ANY grand theft auto game in the near 5 years. i think red dead redemption got into rockstar's ass and now they are focused on it.

[Papsmeas]

@BadMotherFukker - its such a money maker for then they have to get one out in the next two years.......

[Promzo14]

@Papsmeas Rumor has it that it is San Andreas, and it will be either Niko or Packie. I hope it's Niko, but anywhere.

[vicecity117]

@Promzo14 dont lie like that! it has to be in VICE CITY and with TOMMY FUKIN VERCETTI the boss.

[wasgeht951]

@Papsmeas i hope san andreas

[Papsmeas]

@wasgeht951 It seems it will be the west coast for V.

[tiorimas]

@Papsmeas And I hope it goes back to Los Santos or Las Venturas.

[ernesttylee]

The GTA verison is more powerful

[pacus2006]

I like this version...more powerful...

[tomservo3]

is this a different version?

[JoeDonFan]

It's an extended remix, with the original (non-Sylvester) vocals. I think Sylvester's vocals were added after Patrick's death, if memory serves. (If I'm wrong, someone please correct me!)

[tomservo3]

I read somewhere that this version was the version on the "Menergy" Single LP. Is that so?

I don't know if it would be extended.. the other version of this song is about the same length. Either way, interesting info.

[thickbrianq]

@JoeDonFan Sylvesters vocal were on one of the originals, he and Patrick worked together several times, but then even tho I was high during most of the 70/80's I recall there being 3 versions of this song when it was released, the one with Sylvesters vocals being the biggest seller/hit!

[boa360]

The master ! Never forget the time of dancing to this song. What an intro!!

[gustavogomezdiaz]

His premature death didn't stop his legacy. A great homage for the Father of Hi Energy, the Maestro Patrick Cowley. Thanks for the posting.

[shomiana]

i@gustavogomezdiaz  great song!!

[carlosmiller]

Patrick Cowley was ahead of his time! He created and produced such wonderful music !!! I am his fan!!! RIP
