Columbus Circle If you read my mind
Paradise Garage classic If you read my Mind by Columbus Circle, was actually a one man does all act. His name is Scott Yahney and weren't the crowds shocked when they discovered he was a white man! Nevertheless the record went on to become a boogie favorite a nice mesh of the Synth Pop sound popular at the time mixed with the ass shakeable disco that was still proving influential and well-loved in many a club.
I am providing this post by permission of his brother the illustrious DJ Jeff Yahney. Here he is pictured with industry legends DJ Jay Negron and Andrew Klein.
There was even a special unreleased mix done by Scott himself. The label at the time insisted it be mixed by a famous DJ remixer and they brought in Tee Scott of Better Days and Zanzibar.
It proved to be a Billboard Dance Chart hit shooting all the way up to #10 in 1982.
Thanks Michael, I have a promo copy of the12" from 1982 and still love this tune. Played it quite a bit back then in the clubs I DJ'd in in Dayton Ohio.... Cheers, Michael
