Liz Torres - Touch Of Love (house 1988/1989)

Early house and one of the most succesfull tracks from 'the first queen of (deep) house' Liz Torres. The track was first released in 1988 by Chicago label Jack Trax, but later signed by Jive Records and re-released worldwide in 1989. A lot of people thought the track was ment as an ode to the drug XTC (the love-drug).

Liz Torres was the underground superstar of the upcoming new deep house sound from New York in the late eighties. She gave legendary performances at clubs like The Paradise Garage Club, The Warehouse and The Sound Factory. The US clubs where it all began for house.

Deep House is and always was New York based. Liz Torres was the most succesfull deep house artist in the first years, selling over 2 million records worldwide.

@TheTwabster Oh, almost forgot...  "M.U.S.I.C." and "Friends" were my other two absolute favorites from Liz Torres. Just heavy, calming soothing rythmes from this Latino Queen.

@hockinsk For sure !!! I couldn't agree with your choices any further. The mesmerizing sounds of Face It put me into hypnosis and In the City make me feel at ease I live where I do. Two separate feelings you just can't buy anywhere for any price. And this track, is just solid in production quality. Nice work by the Queen and C&J.

I remember chatting with her in the early 90's in a NYC Club after one of her performances and she was a delight. Thanks for posting.
