Truly one of the sweetest sounding songs about doing porn ever. Awwwww. More, More, More became one of the most enduring songs of the disco era without most people even knowing it was about porn. "But if you want to know how I really feel. Just get the cameras rolling. Get the action going." Oh, my. If only they'd thought about it, they could have figured it out pretty easily because Andrea True, the track's singer, was a bona fide porn star. True (going by various names including Inger Kissin, Andrea Travis, Catherine Warren, Singh Low and Singe Low) came to New York from Nashville as a teenage to become a movie star. She didn't quite meet that goal, but did end up on film. Winning!!! She appeared in more than 60 hardcore films from the 70s to the early 80s. Winning???? In 1976 True asked her friend Greg Diamond, a record producer, to fly to Jamaica, where she was doing an ad for a real estate business, to record some music. He brought the music for More, More, More and Andrea wrote some lyrics. The rest is sexy history. Originally only released to discos, the song was too big to be held down and was released commercially in the summer of '76. It hit #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #5 in the UK. True never quite replicated the success, though her song NY, You Got Me Dancing hit #27 on the Billboard Pop Singles Chart in '77, and she went back to making porn. That didn't last too long because, now in her late 30s, she was a little long in the tooth for the industry. She lost her ability to sing due to a goiter that developed on her vocal chords, and that was that. More, More, More had a resurgence in the late 90s when Canadian group Len sampled it for their hit song Steal My Sunshine and again when it was used as a promo for a season of Sex and the City and in a retrospective which you can watch HERE. But nothing quite beats the sight of Andrea herself working a 70s short-suit on Top of the Pops. Check her out below in all her disco-whorieness. AMAZY!! The song is still perfection if you ask me. Even if you don't. When is Porn-Pop coming back?Monday, April 4, 2011
