The following year, she released the dancer 'Let It Flow', which was written by the artist Tommy Stewart (famous for the song 'Bump And Hustle Music'). The song was previously released as a T.K.

I only just discovered this banger this morning. It is a gem! Disco lives!

I remember when this came out in '79, it was such a blast. It was right at the height of when songs with crazy syndromes playing all over the place in them reallly took off and then were big hits too. (...think Rose Royce, Players Association, Mantus etc..). I was 19 & still a young man when I went to all the crazy discos where the best space disco tunes were playing. I had so much fun back then, I could write a movie about it all. I'm glad to say I thoroughly lived those happy disco years 'cos they were good and they were fun and they've left me with a happy heart all my life. Bring back the syndromes, that's what I say and I'm sure Tamiko would agree with me too!
