Larry Levan - Larry Levans Paradise Garage The Legend Of Dance Music Vol 1
Review by Lisa Morris
Larry Levan's Paradise Garage: The Legend of Dance Music is an album that celebrates the life and legacy of Larry Levan, a legendary DJ and producer who revolutionized dance music in the 1970s and 80s. The album features a collection of Levan's most iconic tracks, including remixes of classic disco hits like "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" and "Let No Man Put Asunder," as well as original productions like "Stand on the Word" and "The Bottle."
The album is a testament to Levan's unparalleled talent as a DJ and his ability to create a musical experience that transcended the boundaries of race, gender, and sexuality. His unique blend of disco, funk, and soul created a sound that was both innovative and timeless, and his influence can still be heard in the music of today.

In a record that Larry remixed, he always put the vocal first- then hit u in the head with the instrumentals, and a deep funky ass groove. With the lights of the garage and all their affects, the experience of hearing all of that during one of Larry's marathons was just incredible !!!!! I was there !!!
