The No Italo thing was, in the words of Peter Venkman, more of guideline than a rule.
he was in it for the money. a straight italian guy on the mass production tip, works in real estate now
here is an interview with him from 87'

choice
'bobby O’s history of working relationships reads like a Bel Air alimony lawyers’s casebook. One of his most successful associations ended understandably abruptly when he claimed he could "cure" the artist of his homosexuality, but men continue to be mesmerized by the electric vitality of this irresistible, impossible character. Women, too, are oddly tantalized by a man fixes his dark eyes to theirs over dinner, tells them just how he likes to make love, and what a great lover he is, and then kisses them goodnight on the cheek only to call at midnight to ask if they are naked.'
So staying within the rules, an extremely obvious choice but I've been obsessed by this (it's a cover of an original Italo track) since discovering it a few months back, and couldn't find anywhere relevant to post it here*. Absolutely perfect 80s video too. Completely passed me in the 80s, was before I started listening to the charts:

* Ah, now I find that there is an Italo thread. ah well.
My favourite disco tune by a mile these days
Sylvester - I NEED SOMEBODY TO LOVE TONIGHT
I'm not too keen on the funkier end of disco, perhaps cos I'll never forgive it for murdering soul music.
