Joe Porter is a record producer and songwriter. As a producer, he has produced Thelma Houston, Lynne Randell, Rare Earth, Bobby Darin, O.C. Smith and many others. Porter is also responsible for the orchestral disco version of "Bandstand Boogie" for the television show ''American Bandstand''. He is married to percussionist Bobbye Hall. Career In July 1971, Porter took legal action against the music group Free Movement for breach of contract. This resulted from the group's taking hold of the name which Porter alleged belonged to him and failing to fulfill a songwriting agreement for which he was to get a percentage of their self composed songs. The case was dismissed. He had produced their 1971 song "Ive Found Someone Of My Own". Possibly due to competition with Soul Train, ''American Bandstand'' may have updated their version of "Bandstand Boogie" to a disco version. Joe Porter was responsible for the new disco version which played during the opening and closing credits of the s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
