This track is a classic, embodying the best mix of electronic disco and soulful R&B crooning. Vallery Allington's "Stop" sees Sangy behind the console, crafting what could be called, italo, disco or proto-House, but the vocals and sparse arrangement on this track make it fit easily into a mix of any of the above genres and more. Maybe that's why its so popular. In 1986 she cut a track called "Let's Make It," a rocking, industrial number (also produced by Sangy) that is a departure from the early 80s funk.
Musix Records featured a lot of Maurizio Sangineto's (aka Sangy) work with Armed Gang, James Kahn, and more. He teamed up with Maurice Cavalieri to release a few tracks as 'Firefly' that will forver grace disco mixes. These two were monsters in the late 70s and early 80s putting out some of the most sought after and precious tracks of the genre. I profiled both of their work earlier on italobot. Check it out if you don't know.
