Madleen Kane - Forbidden Love

[juverparadox]

"When beautiful melody and danceable rhythms were in vogue"

An antidote to vulgar hip hop.

[ranus42]

Funny how liberal things were back then compared to now. This song and many others bring back so many memories of a time and era that I can't even put into words, I'm just glade I'm still here and doing great - but I miss those who aren't here. You just had to be there to really understand what this music embodies the 70's was fun. I have no problem with saying that and I love disco.

[carlosmiller]

@ranus42 I thinK exactly like you!!YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!

[esacnitsuj1]

@ranus42

Very True What You've Posted & A GR8 Comment @ That :-)

I'm a 70's - 90's Disc Jockey & IMHO. We seem to be going backward! Those were the days 4 sure. I don't Understand it cause it's 2011!!!

Are we going Back in Time ;-)

[backintheday61]

@ranus42 ,,Definitely not ALONE!!..You had to be there to experience the GREAT MUSIC!

[esacnitsuj1]

Madleen Kane put out so many GR8 hits with Giorgio Moroder & later with Ian Anthony Stephens, Paul Parker, etc.

This will Always be one of my Faves. I still have a German Import LP (mint) with the extended mix of this :D Thanks for uploading Carlos :D

[carlosmiller]

@esacnitsuj1 Hi David! you are welcome!

[ADamiani007]

To the person that asked.."What happened to music? Here's what happened. Back in the 80s...the laws of profanity and freedom of speech were challenged by a group called Two Live Crew...rappers...back then their music was labeled (by others...so don't lash out at me) "Audial Obscenity". They were allowed to sell more...and more of that stuff...others wanted in on the financial action...more like them sprung all over...and "real music" took a back seat to the profit-hungry labels. Sad...really.

[odalys66]

Great Music!!!!  Disco lives on....

[MEGABOINK65]

That 1 dislike is deaf. sorry to hear about your handycapp.

[technovalerie11]

THANK YOU! I have been looking for this song forever!!

[726taino]

Those swirling violins, that horn section blowing over your head, that bass in your chest, and emotion of the lyrics just carried you away. Long live Disco. The best years of my life.

[csassaman]

[crovall]

@afiggiani1558 when i hear dis song i get soo emotional..... disco will always live in my heart.... :)

[djdougb1]

Goosebumps....this song still gives me goosebumps! DISCO AT IT'S FINEST! I remember playing this when it first came out, and packed my dance floor every single time. I've been a Disco/Club DJ since 1973, and am STILL playing music. Nothing today will ever compare to this era of dance music. DISCO STILL LIVES IN MY HEART!

[carlosmiller]

@djdougb1 DITTO!!!! I AGREE WITH YOU...............MUSIC FROM THE PAST IS AWAY BETTER THAN WHAT WE HEAR TODAY!! CHEERS!

[cemilicuz1]

WOW being young and dancing to this - then seeing the cover everybody was blown away - great song - sexy girls - wonderful time

[123SAILFISH]

Disco and poppers at the Copa, Ft Lauderdale

[2tonsolid]

forbidden love.

[Mannchild11]

I forgot how beautiful she is. Disco forever!

[DaDaddySF]

People that put down Disco were never fortunate enough to hear music like this, it never made it to radio play, only the hottest clubs played this stuff.

[DaDaddySF]

People that say "Disco sucks" were never fortunate enough to hear music like this, it never made it to radio play, only the hottest clubs played this stuff.

[Corrigan61]

AWESOME~!~!~!~

[pepperonibill]

To ALL my disco friends out there! This has got to be one of the BEST disco/dance songs out there by the incomparable Madleen Kane! I would hear this song in the clubs back then and whether I had a partner to dance with or not, this song would get me out on the floor to dance my ass off! Ahhhhhhhh...the good old days! Let the songs and memory of the disco classics live on!

[Psychicgirl100]

OMG my Disco years!!! Love it! Love it!

[r0m0rRMR]

One of the things I like so much about this tune is the piano in the opening. So many of our classical disco artists were not afraid to mix their personal talent with traditional instruments.

[jacknjill3000]

This is soooo hot!!!! Disco forever!!!! Who said Disco Sucks??? Aliens???

[carlosmiller]

@jacknjill3000 Disco and italo disco were the best era for dancing and music...............I agree with you..

[pepperonibill]

@jacknjill3000 Hey! I agree with you! Who in the HELL said disco sucks obviously couldn't dance and enjoy the beat! LOVE LOVE LOVE this song......and this song will live on to all our mutual disco fans!

[marcusjknight]

@jacknjill3000

Aliens LOVE Disco : ) !!! (Who said Disco Sucks?) Rednecks and Homophobic's

[djdougbarnes]

One of my favorites of all "Disco Time"!!

[jaylynbob]

A great women!!!!! Singing her ass off!!!!!! The music is off the hook!!!!

[djmusicjac]

[janitodavinci007]

Esto es Sonido Discoteque, no rolas discotequeras comercializalonas

[djmusicjac]

[GarySchab]

Terrific song!  Brings back memories!

[MossbergChick]

Thanks for uploading the longer version, most places only have the five minute version.

[atrocchia]

A truly delicious disco classic.

[olidoria]

music will never age and this timeless lovely song is a symbol of the late 70's..we were having fun, dancing, playing football, staying with friends, no drugs, no alcool, no dangerous driving....JUST FUN FOR THE SAKE OF IT...oliver doria

[kanei3]

Madleen Kane was one of the best singers that came out of the Disco era. This was probably her best album!

[djmusicjac]

WARNER BROS had hit a goldmine with Madleen Kane, her tunes are timeless, will be around for centuries, not many female artists could do this

[djmusicjac]

very beautiful eurodisco, not heard madleen kane tunes until today, love them

[SuperLouisianaLady]

I love her song Retro does anybody have it?

[eddrod1]

fierce, fierce real music. stirred the soul fired the imagination into an indescribable sensuality. thank you carlosmiller!

[sanger717]

the best years of my life actually i have 50 thank you for this and best regards from Tijuana Mexico HABLO MEJOR ESPANOL

[diazcuba]

LOVE IT!!!!

[auperez1]

Still a beautiful song after all these years, perhaps the greatest disco song, Memories of that generation/era people would always dance to this song, and is where we met our love ones.

[cleanerfloors]

This is my favorite Madleen Kane song, bar none.

[elreydecaracas]

ESTO ES MUSICA DE VERDAD

[eloso1961]

I LOVE THIS SONG! SHE IS HOT!

[OLATUNJI05]

[carlosmiller]

@OLATUNJI05 u are welcome and FIRE IN OUR HEARTS!!! xoxo

[bandstand54]

I remember when this record was played at Disco-92 WKTU in New York City.

[Joebaggindoughnut]

Recalling Friday nights playing this and You Can, Soveniers by Voyage, Romeo and Juliet by Alec Costinados, and Lime songs as well at home while getting ready to party. . . what a time !! The crowded clubs in Fort Lauderdale or Miami were sweaty but who cared. Nothing better than disco era of late 70's through mid 80's. I feel sorry the kids today don't have it like we did. So be it. ----- Long live Disco !!  -----

[RMendiola4]

THIS is dance music! Straight up disco~ All the dance music producers of today would need to do is touch up the effects, use a modern beat, and you've got FIRE!

[davidoak4Erdie]

In my 50s now...but everyday i know how lucky i was to grow up in this era of music....long live disco..... all the energy.... all the love... nothing has ever come close to this great time...moment in music history... Wherever you are Madleen...thank you with all my heart

[carlosmiller]

@davidoak4Erdie u are welcome, my name is Carlo

[OLAF181]

@carlosmiller madleen kane por siempre fui

[DaDaddySF]

@davidoak4Erdie AMEN David, I am 54 and feel so privileged to have had the opportunity to have this music be part of my memories. This song is as good today as it was back in 1978 when I was a kid.

[maravillosaforever]

she is so beautiful

[carlosmiller]

@maravillosaforever yes she is and I love her too............thanks for your comment

[ThePouroupoupou]

[richardbassett1956]

SMILE :-)

February 1979!!!

[mmckeefery]

Fire? Where? Oh, in my heart! The production of this song would still call me to the dance floor--so many years later. I look for other "dino-comments" where is everybody? Anyway, I agree with you...well, its Madleen Kane. Thanks a million Carlos, for giving this to us. I lost it in the move!

[carlosmiller]

@mmckeefery my pleasure!!!!!

[bluepuppydan]

That was a great write-up on one of my favorite singers in my dance collection- beautifully written- very impressive. Thank you for taking the time to post this classic song and artist on youtube.

[mithukuni]

super !

nice 70s thx

☆☆☆☆☆彡

[mayor766]

If they played this at a club..I would break out my leggings and start spinning in the center of the dance floor!!!

[naplesjoe47]

Does anyone remember "Too Hot For Love"?

[mayor766]

love the strings..

[OLATUNJI05]

fire..fire in your heart.

[martinihoudini]

One of the best disco songs of that era. It starts at the valley and reaches the mountaintop.

[jemb2000]

Does Madleen Kane even sing on this? In terms of female vocals, I can only hear Sue & Sunnie from the original Brotherhood of Man on this track.

[carlosmiller]

Hello! I love Madleen Kane and this is so true , we don't hear her voice on that song only a chorus.................When I first heard this song I did not know it was her!!!!

[auperez1]

It was a great song at that time, brings back memories from that era. She was gorgeous and had a beautiful voice. Perhaps her best song that brought many to the dance floor. Wonder where and what she is doing today. Thanks for posting this.

[rosettamusic]

LOVE IT ALWAYS

[interceptador1966]

Simplesmente Espetacular!!!!!

[interceptador1966]

sem duvida nenhuma que a medleen kane e bonita e canta muito bem para o seu estilo, mais nao podemos jamais esquecer da laura branigan que na mesma epoca nos encantou com seu talento e beleza, nos embalando ao som de 'self control' e 'gloria'. os anos 80' marcou toda uma geração.

[mrrick07]

When I did discos in the 70's this was one of my theme songs. I haven't played or heard it in over 30 years but the melody keeps going round and round in my head ever since. There is something enchanting about it. I happened to find the 12" disco version in my record collection and ripped it into my current collection.

[PopArtster]

Mesmerizing vocals, seductive beats that make your feet move and easily the most beautiful disco singer of her time. Viva Madleen!

[carlosmiller]

Thanks for the great comment and yes i agree that madleen was the most beautiful singer of her time!!

cheers!!

[stevemaslow]

[ILIKETOBAKE]

damn, the memories!! I have the original vynil to this and many others. I remember buying this record. I will never part with my vynil. I,m in my 40,s and remember the clubs in the 80,s big time!!

[calmusic1]

actually it was the 70`s , ( 78) and I have the promo copy from the record pool

and when I played for the veryfirst time at the club when I was working as a DJ in NYC everybody whent crazy even myself

I took the dance floor and in the middle of the dance floor I started to dance

wow what a rush and what a memories.

[hotgritz4sho]

OMG! This is Madleen's song?! I remember hearing this on the radio as a kid. I never thought I'd hear it again. I loved disco. wish I was older so I could have been out at the clubs dancing to this music. I was just a kid but this Madleen was fierce and could easily run with the other divas of her heyday like Donna Summer and Gloria Gaynor! This song was always so haunting to me. Aaaaaaaaaahhhhh...Forbiddin Love!

[carlosmiller]

yes it is Madleen Kane, eventhough we don't hear her voice much (I am talking about the way she sang with her peculiar voice tone)!

[carlosmiller]

Also, it was a wonderful era, when music was prettier and listenable! When this song came out I was very young too, but I had a chance to go through the 80's enjoying that great music, always expecting what would come out next! OMG!!!!

[911insidejo8]

how cN I DOWNLOd some of these awesome songs so I can put them onto DVD?

[carlosmiller]

[leroydisco]

con orquestacion sinfonica, los 70s fueron unicos, este tipo de producciones no se vio nunca  mas en el mundo

[leroydisco]

una dramatica orquestacion, de lo mejor del disco, de verdad, una epopeya disco

[DrPhilharmonic]

orchestral, production, and melodic masterpiece representing the intellectual and cultural apex of this civilization: the 1970s; note the grand Munich Symphony Orchestra, with Hans Herschenhan, concertmaster, conducted by Thor Baldursson

[stormatsunup]

I love this song so much!!! If someone could find "You and I" that would be awesome!! I have the Album but would love that song on youtube.

[caradecaballo]

[jeromedemontpellier]

Truly great stuff. Madleen Kane has made some of the best disco/dance songs (Playing for time, You can, Cherchez pas...) ! LOVE IT

[carlosmiller]

Oh yes indeed! She is wonderful, I really love her. Also she had Giorgio Moroder producing some of her songs!!

[jeromedemontpellier]

Yes, it brings me back to my youth but still keeps me dancing today ! This music was only made for fun despite serious sound production. It's typical of an era. One again, thanks for posting !

[eventvisionsinc]

i dance to this at 15,,,lol

[carlosmiller]

yes, her beauty and talent together made a great combination!

[topoche3]

she was totally stunning!

[carlosmiller]

Yes and she is very beautiful also, so a great combination!

[1Luniac]

One of the best Disco songs ever! Love the strings!!!

[MATTYGON]

Ok, I'm showing my age, the first time I heard this song, back in 79, while in high school, I remember I was in class, the song played, I looked out the window, & to my amazment a couple of kids were dancing the hustle to this....Wonderful memories, Thank you

[carlosmiller]

you are welcome! This was my first Madleen's album and after that I completely fell in love with her..............and also people that went through that era know what good music was.........go to my page and you will see more Madleen's stuff............

[frmadrigal]

my favorite MK is you and I. I will really like to watch her singing that song in a video. Thanks anyway.

[uckadalma]

Love this song , it has a "Cerrone sound " inprint. 70' 4 ever !

[brianic23]

kool, thnx!!

[carlosmiller]

you r welcome! she is awesome!!!

[fabulustbone]

I looooove this song, thanks so much for posting carlosmiller.

[carlosmiller]

my pleasure!!!! I love Madleen kane, she is awesome............too bad she quit singing in 1985!

[joeljack1]

Loved her music. Madleen was stunningly beautiful then too. I believe she was a Ford Model before she sang.

[carlosmiller]

hello!!! Look at this:

At the age of 20, Madleen mostly mistaken as French but originally Swedish when modeling for Ford, was discovered by J.C. Freidrich owner of Boona Music productions and she became a hot singing commodity with ROUGH DIAMOND in 1978 which took off like fire not only in U.S. but across the globe......

[carlosmiller]

cont............

After she released CHERI in 1979, her singer career became firm. Nevertheless GIORGIO MORODER appeared with his mixes in 1981 with "Don't wanna Lose You" and helped her album sales in Clubs but no longer in radios. Sadly, Madleen tired of the recordings faded away after the last album 1985 "Cover Girl"...

Other big hits: PLAYING FOR TIME, YOU CAN, I'M NO ANGEL, FIRE IN MY HEART (mais) (menos)

I think besides being gorgeous, Madleen was talented!!!!

take care

[DesignbyLC]

Carlos you're the bomb!!  Thank you so much for posting one of my all time favorite songs.

Elsy

[carlosmiller]

it's my pelasure! I love Madleen Kane very much and always have!! she is great!!!
