kung Posted November 10, 2003 Report Share Posted November 10, 2003 I didn't realize until listening to the adult contempo shite at work just now that Shining Star is an Andy Gibb tune. Did anyone know this? Is that the dead one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted November 10, 2003 Report Share Posted November 10, 2003 It's not an Andy Gibb original. The Fifth Dimension and Earth, Wind & Fire are all over that song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted November 10, 2003 Report Share Posted November 10, 2003 Shining Star Composer: Leo Graham / Paul Richmond I think the Manhattans is the version Jerry used to play. I think Jaimoe is drunk at work again. What a wicked tune Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted November 10, 2003 Report Share Posted November 10, 2003 The song has been covered a lot over the years, but Booche says that it was made famous by The Manhattans. Be at peace that Andy Gibb did not write that good song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about The Fifth Dimension, but I'm pretty positive the EWF song is an original of theirs that just happens to have the same title. Sound right? - Mr. M.

Jaimoe Posted November 10, 2003 Report Share Posted November 10, 2003 R&B and disco are two of my weaker areas of musical knowledge. By comparison, Booche is a disco expert... and proud of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted November 11, 2003 Report Share Posted November 11, 2003 "Booche is a disco expert" Damn straight, I love the shakin' on funkytown street............. "but I'm pretty positive the EWF song is an original of theirs that just happens to have the same title. Sound right?" I think so, but I dont recall the EWF version all that well. I remember it on some Disco Hits ad a number of years ago, and thinking "Wait a second, that aint no Shining Star I know of." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kung Posted November 11, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2003 Oh wait I remember now: 'Shining Star know who you are...' Oddly enough isn't that the song Elaine gets down to on Seinfeld? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
