Scorpgemi Records Story - Do Your Own Dance! - Scorpgemi Records Story Vol. 1 (Various Artists) - VINYL LP

- The first ever curated works of the Broadway based Scorpgemi tag- Produced by Lonnie Johnson, one of the founding-fathers of New York Dance- Dancefloor Gold from the enigma that is Lonnie Joel Johnson, the man behind the career of the legendary Patrick AdamsChic's Nile Rogers is lauded as an international star and the recently departed Patrick Adams is acknowledged as one of the most important pioneers of disco music, but behind them were an army of lesser-known musicians, producers, and arrangers including one of the founding-fathers of New York Dance, the enigma Lonnie Johnson.Scorpgemi Records and Lonnie Johnson, the man behind the tag, will be unknown to most, but he was an important figure at the birth of dance music. His tag featured work by several leading voices of the New York scene and provided one of New York's most instantly recognisable dance music records- InchKeep In Touch (Body To Body)Inch-one of the greatest club cuts ever.. But Johnson himself leaves hardly a trace, a behind-the-scenes person, and a friend of Patrick Adams who is only known to those who study the small print on record labels.So, Lonnie Joel Johnson proves to be both highly influential, and almost completely elusive. A backroom person, who created an anthem across the Atlantic from his home base in New York. A man who was instrumental in the development of Patrick Adams' career from producer of vocal groups to the go-to producer for dancefloor gold. Yet, for all this there are no biographical details, no interviews and almost nothing left behind except for a small but fantastic catalogue of music.
