Tina Hoskins, better known to the world at large as Tina Charles, had her only UK Number 1 hit with the 1976 disco classic "I Love To Love (But My Baby Loves to Dance)". Looking at her biog Tina had an interesting life in the music biz before becoming a disco queen, having Elton John play piano on her first solo single in the late 60's, performing on the first episode of The Two Ronnies and being a backing vocalist on Steve Harley's "Make Me Smile". And, believe it or not, she was also a singer for a short time with Kilburn and thje High Roads !!
But she will be best remembered and loved for her monumental disco anthem "I Love to Love" which apparently sold over 26 million copies worldwide. Unlike some of the other disco artists of that era Tina was a very talented singer who could certainly hit those high notes, with considerable ease.
Today's tune was requested by a fellow
blogger whose father helped Jim McLean rescue his pet rabbit 4 years prior to Tina being at the top of the hit parade...hope you enjoy George...
I Love To Love
