The Story behind “More, More, More”

While the Andrea True Connection song was not the inspiration for the title of this Web Log (it was the name of Excite’s query by example feature,) that song was stuck in my head today. Some research on Ask Jeeves turned up Andrea True as the singer (JulieBata and I had been thinking Melba Moore.)

“She traveled to Jamaica in 1975 to film a television ad for a local land developer and discovered that in the midst of the island’s state of emergency she was forbidden to leave the country with her salary. Resourcefully True called on Gregg Diamond to come down to Jamaica with a music track so that, in effect, she could launder her money and transport it out of the country in the form of a master tape containing her first record.

Don’t worry, I’m not going to put a MIDI file of the song on the page.
