DC LaRue

Prolific disco writer on the Pyramid label in mid to late 1970's, appealing to gay scene. Best known release was "Cathedrals", a good bus-stop number. Other good disco songs were "Overture", "Hot jungle drums and voodoo rhythm", "Pounding with desire", "Let them dance" and "So much for L.A.". This last release is the only disco-like item from the album Star Baby, where LaRue tried to escape from the dying disco market. The song "Do you want the real thing" appeared on the soundtrack to the film "Thank God it's Friday". His song "You can always tell a lady (by the company she keeps)" appeared in the film, but not on the soundtrack.

"Cathedrals" was the first commercial 12" on the Pyramid label.
