How do ya like it?



Len, Toronto based band sampled Andrea True's song 'more more more' a while back with catchy results. Check out Len's Version here and Adrea's original here.

Whats fascinating is Andrea's back story of the recording of the song 'more more more.'

During her heyday as a porn actress, True was hired by a real estate business on the Caribbean island of Jamaica to appear in their commercial ads. During her stay, a political crisis gripped the island and no one was allowed to leave with any money. Not wanting to lose her hard-earned money, True asked her friend, record producer Gregg Diamond to travel to the island and produce a track for her, which she would finance locally. Diamond arrived with a composition in hand, to which True added lyrics. The result of their collaboration was the now disco classic "More, More, More".
