Birds in Paradise

Here is a funky and clever disco cut from 1978 entitled "I am a Song" by the Paradise Birds. As soon as I heard that there was a disco group called Paradise Birds I became immediately interested. Now that I've had a chance to absorb a bunch of their tracks, especially off of the 1978 I Am A Song LP, I've definitely come to the conclusion that there is plenty here worth enjoying. One of my favorite parts about the titled track "I am a Song" is the songs' narrative intro, where it sounds like a radio disc-jocky introducing the song to a bunch of people partying along an assortment of tropical beaches, which, I might add, definitely sounds nice. This group, which was produced by Charles Rinieri and Leo Carrier, went under a few different names during it's existence including the simply titled Paradise and New Paradise. Regardless, a rare and yet solid disco production from this funky French disco crew.

Yes, those announcements are quite funny! Their music sounds a little like Ottawan, who were from France too, if I remember well.
