I truly believe this song got me more puzzy than any other song out there. I was 17/18 then. When this song came on at the clubs, it was like an aphrodisiac for boyz & gurlz. A blend of AfroLatin & Big Band and a Heart Throbbing Disco Beat that made everyone want to get out on the dance floor. After a full night at the club & smoking a up of couple of bones; Before you knew it, you were hip deep in some ASS remembering that beat to Cherchez La Femme. Pas plus cherche pour la femme. Les souvenirs
@jwh1999 Ahead of their time???? I guess we are will waiting for the "time" then----because I don't think this big band genre becoming popular since 1977 lol--if anything they were behind the times---big band left in the 30's---I will add--great song and I love big bands with a lot of instruments---just your average person is retarded now--so it sadly, will never be mainstream or popular
LOVED THIS SONG AS A SENIOR IN HIGH SCHOOL IN 1977, THOUGHT THEY WERE SO COOL AND UNIQUE THEN,NOW LOOKING AT THIS VIDEO I THINK THEY ARE EVEN COOLER NOW! ITS 2011, WATCHING A VIDEO FROM 1977 WITH HEAVY 1940'S INFLUENCES,TAKE ME BACK TO 1977, PLEASE!!
Wow what Cabaret Style brilliance. Tommy Notola is worth singing about. Even though he is crazy he still has his Red Rad Caddy. This song is so perfectly representative of a cheesy sweet American style gigolo, and it's just the ladies he's after. And the lead lady singer who puts this song across so well probably fell for him. A lyric treat at 5000 rhythmic calories.YES
waah I've always loved them. even up till now im 55. back then people thought me and my girl were pretty nuts liking them. everyone was into Rock music and we'd love this stuff. i remember we'd dress up like them. my girl had Cory's hairstyle. i wore the suits and the beanies...Amsterdam was swinging.
"All I can say. Of one thing I am certain. They're all the same. All the sluts and the saints..." - Boy, they really did get it right, didn't they? Pure magic.
So they kept the chord progression of a 1922 hit song called "Whispering" and changed the melody; the trombones even play the original melody at times.
This isn't the first bastardization of "Whispering;" after WW2 when modern jazz ("Be Bop") came along, the post-war modernists did something similar; "Whispering" became the Be Bop anthem "Groovin' High."
This is definitely one of the best DISCO songs ever played in a club. I still wish all songs were as great as this one. But I got to say Gloria Estevan did the remake just as well, because she didn't change anything about this song. I could listen to this song forever. DISCO LIVES ON
15th & Jackson, 2nd floor. South Philly. Windows open. Curtins flying in the breeze. Blasting this single. Me, my girl and my friends trying to learn the hustle while the tennants on the first floor call the cops because of the noise!
Straight out of Monroe High school in The Bronx NYC. You go Cory and August. This brings me back to old school. Kid Creole had to be on The Johnny Carson tonight show so many times I lost track. Johnny treated him with big respect all the time. Those were the days.
I've mentioned this before and I will mention it again: I was a kid when this came out. This is from one of the Variety shows (Sonny and Cher?!?! - One of those I think) and I fell in love with the Western Union dancers routine..I was doing that every time I heard this song. This was fabulous! Thanks so much for posting!
UMMM THIS SONG IS TOO MUCH TOO FABULOUS SO FANTASTIC WHY DONT THE STUPID DJ'S TODAY PLAY THIS?? PATHETIC..WE NEED TO DEMAND THIS FROM OUT DJ'S JUST DO IT!!
The lead singer is Cory Daye - and she did an especially good job with this number. The original vinyl album was cut in West Orange, NJ. And Dr. Buzzard is August Darnell - a/k/a Kid Creole, in the group Kid Creole & the Coconuts. FANTASTIC MUSIC!
Several have mentioned about the video production for this number, looking like "old Hollywood" etc. I remember the early 1970's for reviving the look of the 1930's in fashion. My friends and I would haunt second hand stores and Goodwill stores for double breasted pin stripe suits and such so we could look like Dillinger and Capone when we took our dates dancing. Truely a wonderful song from a wonderful time and place in my life.
Oh man, this is, was the shit! AAAAHHHH YYYEEAAHH!!! The Hustle was the dance craze back then. If you don't know about it its because you never danced holding your love's hand.
The production, look, scenic design, muggin', arrangements, vibe, content, etc, is so sick! I didn't realize how much the entire presentation was meant to resemble an old time Hollywood musical. Brilliant stuff! Just freakin' BRILLIANT!
Yup...it helps to have money and be able to make someone a star. I think Tommy Mottola used all that to his advantage. Mariah and Thalia wouldn't give him the time of day if he was anything other than the president of Sony Records.
The music business just wasnt ready for this and didnt kn ow what to do with them. This album was and still is one of the greatest. Shame we never got to hear more of them.
FYI: Tommy Mottola is a music (casablanca records) executive/producer/star maker; I believe he intorduced Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band feautring Cory Daye. He has a good ear for female singers. Good eye? Afterall, listen to Cory belt those melodic notes. She rules!
Tommy M. must have discovered Cory and the boys? Anyway, Tommy M. married Mariah Carey, yes, her. and in the last few years he moved to NYC a rising Mexican songstress, Thalia, which he married, too!
Still relevant today, great music! Ghostface Killah sampled this on his 2000 Supreme Clientele album! things definitely go in cycle. Good music is immortal!
DBUSB only had four albums between 1976 and 1983. Their 1976 self-titled first album was their best. ' Cherchez La Femme' and 'I'll Play the Fool' are off of that great first album.
Th first two words of th song lyrics -- SAY IT ALL! ... Soon as my cugino(s) e cugina(s) over in Brooklyn heard this cut back in `76 it was an instant hit! AB-SO-LUTELY!!!
And having grown up on TD's music, I can dig th "Whispering" song intro. Ingenious!
I was a club DJ 1977-1982 in a club in Nashville. I played this song at some point every night once it ca,e out through record pools of the day. On New Years eve 1979 Coati Mundi and the traveling tidal wave that was Dr. Buzzard original Savannah Band came to town, and played live on our stage. They did things with sound and lights that had never been seen before in the south. It was a night that still is fresh because it was so different and leading edge at the time. it was Mardi gras for NYE.
My older cousin played this for me , she worked for a radio station...she had a demo disc....WOW ....what memories..I was privileged to alot of great music because of her ..THIS was for sure one of them :)
This song is among the BEST of Disco music, never get tired of this song and the the 12" version is even better! This is when looks did not matter like to today. It was lucky to get one hit then, again thats all it takes! It was about the music! I was 13 years old and looked forward to every disco 12" single that came out. I still have them all, true time machines.
Despite it's 'retro' style, this song was very new and fresh when it climbed the charts during the winter of 1977. The band was on a track all their own, combining a disco beat (from the very talented Mickey Seville) with a swing-era horn section and velvety-smooth lead vocals over sophisticated arrangements. I expected more in the same style from this band, but nothing matched the work we found on their first album.
I was researching Tommy motolla. I saw the name Cherchez La Femme. Rapper Ghostface Killah made a rap version if this song called cherchez le ghost. This is freakin awesome.
This brings me back to when I was a young kid discovering the music of the moment! Oh how I love this song! It gives me chills! I heard that they wrote this song for Tommy Mottola, the big music exec and Mariah Carey's ex, because back in the 70's he was Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band's manager!
@LesterTheNightfly2- you heart killer! Why do this to me? My tears just drop! Where did you find this treasure? This and The Stylistics' Hey Girl Come & Get it make my heart sugar. I danced the Hustle my 1time with it.
THIS NOT A SONG ONLY....THIS IS A MOMENT THAT CREATE THOUSANDS OF FEELINGS THAT, FORTUNATELY, PLAY THIS SONG !!!! HAVE CLIMBED THE EVEREST TO SEE WHAT IS ABOUT ??? HAVE A NICE WEEKEND !!
I was 20 years old when, I heard this song... Nalsalga.. I love it played the hell out of this album.. u can just close ur eye's and just think back, even before my time... but this music is so wonderful... still play it after 34 years still a favorite of mine. My nephew had to go get the C D.. I usto play so much, and will keep playing thank you Dr.Buzzard Band.. you have changed my life....
I only learnt of this song via a Gloria Estefan cover!! I was only 2 years old in 1977 haha..so wouldn't have hear but I agree... it has an amazing mystical quality to it, it transports you back in time, just wonderfull-had it not been for gloria!! I would not even knew it exists!!America has a wider span of music-I admit!!!! utterly brilliant :D
A magical song, the video is a treasure to watch; over and over again. I was 17 years old when this song debuted in 1977, I didn't know they made a music video to this song (before MTV came along) I 'am joyous they did.... What a joy to watch a work of art in motion.
I'm in love with Cory!!

This would have gone very well on Donna Summer's "I remember yesterday" LP. And Cory Daye DOES look a bit like Donna from the same era!

I was researching Tommy motolla. I saw the name Cherchez La Femme. Rapper Ghostface Killah made a rap version if this song called cherchez le ghost. This is freakin awesome.

This brings me back to when I was a young kid discovering the music of the moment! Oh how I love this song! It gives me chills! I heard that they wrote this song for Tommy Mottola, the big music exec and Mariah Carey's ex, because back in the 70's he was Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band's manager!

When Tommy Mottola is mentioned in this song, they are talking about the real Tommy Motola who was married to Mariah Carey

I only learnt of this song via a Gloria Estefan cover!! I was only 2 years old in 1977 haha..so wouldn't have hear but I agree... it has an amazing mystical quality to it, it transports you back in time, just wonderfull-had it not been for gloria!! I would not even knew it exists!!America has a wider span of music-I admit!!!! utterly brilliant :D

A magical song, the video is a treasure to watch; over and over again. I was 17 years old when this song debuted in 1977, I didn't know they made a music video to this song (before MTV came along) I 'am joyous they did.... What a joy to watch a work of art in motion.
