Saint Tropez

Saint Tropez

Laurin Rinder and W. Michael Lewis were the production duo behind the 70's disco groups El Coco, Sweet Potato Pie, Tuxedo JunctionSaint Tropez, Le Pamplemousse and the soundtracks of popular television programs like "That's Incredible" and "In Search Of..."

They were studio musicians based out of L.A who had a background playing on records by The Standells, We FiveAnita O'Day and Percy Sledge who accidentally stumbled upon disco in it's earliest incarnations. Soon they were putting their slick 70's spin on the cocaine friendly repetitive sounds becoming popular in the gay clubs of Santa Monica, Provincetown, Castro and Christoper Streets, and beyond.

Under the nom de disco of Saint Tropez or St. Tropez they released 4 big dancefloor hits:

"Je T'aime"

"Belle De Jour"

"Hot And Nasty"

"Femme Fatales"


One of their simply fascinating intimate emotional-Disco pieces is 'Femmes Fatales', . The tune tells the story of a dangerous romance between a photographer and his lover which tragically resulted in murder, sugesting a kind of a dangerous love triangle (yes, I know you have heard stories like this thousand times before). The way the dialogues are conducted within the music, though, is very original and fascinating.

The full-sensuality mood begins with spicy dialogues on the phone by the couple made by this photographer and the girl in question. All the speaches are in French as part of the atmosphere that also brings an amazing instrumental ensemble made by saxophone solo, guitars, funky bass, violin strings, flute, and a sweet percussion that leads to the next scene which is the couple's erotic meeting in question and their tragic end caused the invasion of the murderer on the room.

The seductive atmosphere proceeds with the transmission of what would be a TV journalist announcing the murder. That's the kind of femme fatale: a deadly lady - not only because she can drive you nuts, but because you'll take deadly risks with her. Read more on Last.fm.
