this was a big east coast hit never knew they were on American bandstand though. i think the poster below got the names all right, bruce (closest to donna summer during interview) & donna have been married for nearly 25-30 yrs. last i heard.
@InvisibleNoMore68 Actually in December 75' Wolfman Jack hosted, Donna hosted Bandstand twice once in December 77' when the Villiage People appeared and this time(May, 1978) to promote Thank God It's Friday on it's premiere day.
I saw these guys on a tv show way back in the day and they were all dressed in black leather ,like bikers,and man were they hot,I would love to see that if anyone has it.I cant remeber the song tho,but it was'nt this one.
Eddie eventually became one of the original Kenny Vance and The Planotones though no longer in the group, Ihad the pleasure of singing with Joe at Kenny Vance's house some years ago doing doo wop.
Does anyone have the song Street Dance that was on the flip side of this album? They also performed it that same day on American Bandstand. Love these guys. Shame there are not more of their songs and performances posted!
Joe Esposito plays in Vegas & Donna Summer & Bruce Suldanos daughter was in the t.v. show with one of the Wayans brothers( she was the older daughter) cant remember the name- good tune thanks for the post
Damon Wayans is whom you are thinking of. Bruce and Donna's daughter did NOT play the eldest daughter in that show. She played the daughter-in-law, Vanessa, who was married to Damon's character's son, Junior. The eldest daughter, Claire, was portrayed by actress Jennifer Freeman. Hope that clears it a bit.
What a real jewel you gave to us, I don't know how come this clip has only 24 visits, people don't know what they are missing here, thank you very much for uploading this song.

Is the daughter in the show called "My Wife and Kids"? I don't know that Wayans brother name either. But if that is the girl, she is beautiful.

Great track that should have been a #1 hit..
Bruce Sudano later married Donna Summer. I believe one of their daughters is in the entertainment biz.
