That 1978 single, "Kiss Me Again," featured guitar from David Byrne (Talking Heads), bass from Wilbur Bascomb Jr (a seasoned session hand), drums from Allan Schwartzberg (another journeyman who had worked with the likes of Yoko Ono, Bob James, and Tom Verlaine), vocals from Myriam Naomi Valle (a member of Desmond Child & Rouge), and cello and production work from Russell. Though the spectacular single failed to catch fire commercially, it -- like many of the other disco releases overseen by Russell -- became an underground dance classic, thanks in no small part to Paradise Garage DJ Larry Levan.

Throughout the course of the early '80s, Russell released a number of singles under his own name and as/with Loose Joints, Lola, and Indian Ocean. In 1982, Russell and William Socolov founded the Sleeping Bag label, which would become an influential independent rap label with releases from Mantronix and EPMD. However, the label's inaugural release was another Russell-affiliated project, Dinosaur L's 24 24 Music LP. The album's "Go Bang" was released in the 12" format with a remix from François Kevorkian that also played a significant role in the New York City club scene. Russell's involvement with dance music fizzled out in the latter half of the '80s, but he continued to work in avant-garde circles until his death in 1992.

I used to and still go nuts (even with arthritic knees) to this dancing - real deal for us (England) UK boogie heads dancers. even though it's disco styled, that FK remix is sheer bliss: that bassline, the wild loose keys swing hard with elements of jazzy brass - a proper fusion collage as the crazy vocals sit brilliantly in the swirl pool of the groove. One the best club dance records EVER! 🎆❣🖤🥳🎶

I remember hearing this song in a small club in Brooklyn called Rhythms. So when Todd Terry did the sampling back in 1988, I mentioned this song from earlier back in the day. And my new friends didn't know what I was talking about.

I always considered it "high end underground disco"...Larry Levan used to drive us insane with this on the dancefloor at The Paradise Garage! What a great song! ❤️

And here it’s a song that could be considered the first “house”sound,the drums,synthesizer/piano the break down,it’s all there ,the structure of a new sound coming straight out of NYC but people often credit the wrong city,after all this is the music Frankie Knuckles brought to Chicago,but people ain’t ready for the truth.
