Earl and I were driving across Samuel De Champlain bridge on Autoroute 10 when this song came on the radio. We were driving to Montréal just for the heck of it. I was working at a Top 40 dance leaning radio station at the time and I was always looking for something new and different to play on the air. This was to differentiate us from the other Top 40 station in the market, which leaned more mainstream.
I fell in love with this song the first time I heard it. I think the vibe of driving into Montréal at the time contributed to mon amour; the sample of “I’ll Be Around” by The Spinners also contributed to the vibe.
From 1999, here’s Michael Moog with “That Sound”.
