Who’d have thought that Janis ‘At Seventeen’ Ian recorded a sexy disco song? Well she did and she did it with the one and only Giorgio Moroder. The pair teamed up in 1979 to record a song for the Jodie Foster-starred movie ‘Foxes’ (no, me neither but its got Jodie in it so it might be good) and ‘Fly Too High’ was the result.
Slinky and quite seductive, Moroder plays to Janis’ strengths (vocals and lyrics) and produces a sophisticated disco song (it even has a smooth and sexy sax or ‘saxy’ bit!). The soundtrack actually contains some good stuff. From long-term collaborator Donna Summer (‘On The Radio) to Moroder’s own compositions, its worth checking out. Especially for Cher’s stinker of an effort (‘Bad Love’). Saxy stuff indeed!
