ABSTRACT

NEW YORK-A funny thing has been happening at Downstairs Records here. The store, which is the city’s leading disco product retailer, has been getting calls for

obscure r&b cutouts such as Dennis Coffy’s “Son of Scorpio,” on Sussex, Jeannie Reynolds’ “Fruit Song” on Casablanca, and the Incredible Bongo Band’s “Bongo Rock” on Pride.
