Maurice Cavalieri had his hand in some of the quintessential releases of the early 80s (for fans of Italo Disco and 'Boogie'). I would exhaust myself trying to showcase all of them in this post but he did work with Sangy on Firefly's 'Love is Gonna Be On Your Side,' 'Don't Stop' and more. But recently I have been jamming on another release he did for Mr Disc Organization in 1983. 'Stand Up' by Nexus is a simple two chord groove with a loose synth bass that would immediately have boogie enthusiasts clamoring to get it into rotation. And you might recognize that decaying and choppy synthesizer that demarks the chorus from another one of his releases, the eerie and unforgettable 'Spacer Woman' by Charlie.
