Wilton Place Street Band
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wilton Place Street Band was an American disco group. The group was an ensemble of studio musicians put together by record producer Trevor Lawrence in Los Angeles, California for the purpose of recording an instrumental disco cover version of the theme tune to "I Love Lucy". The result, "Disco Lucy", was released on Island Records as a single in 1977, and hit #7 on the U.S. Club Play chart[1] and #24 on the Top 40.[2]
Two further singles followed, "Sweet, Sweet Baby Love" and "Gonna Have a Party".
The band's name came about because Lawrence lived on Wilton Place in L.A.
