Frantique were made up of Tricia Cheyenne, Florence Raynor and Denise Russelle who in 1979 released their only album titled Frantique on Philadelphia International Records.The album consisted of four tracks "Disco Dancer", "Getting Serious", "Night People These Days" and "Strut Your Funky Stuff" which was produced by Jack Robinson,James Bolden and Vivien Savoie Robinson.For me the pick of the bunch is "Strut Your Funky Stuff" released also on the A side of the only 12" with "Getting Serious" on the flip.An amazing slice of driving philly disco with those vocals telling us to "Get Up...Stand Up...Strut Your Funky Stuff".Sure to tear up any dance floor!!Frantique - Strut Your Funky Stuff

These vocalist(s) listed ... are not the original singers.
"Strut Your Funky Stuff" along with the other songs on the 12", were done by one vocalist... who had previously signed to another record label and could not front the record. Originally this mystery singer, was hired to do the demo... (that was suppose to be re-recorded) ... but never was. Therefore the "demo" was put out Nilly-Vinilly style, with the original singer unaware of the #10 record in England. Until...
In other words... these lovely ladies are not the singers on the recording and in that live show, video they were lip-syncing.
Trust me, I ... know!
more to come...
