Gary's Gang

Gary's Gang

Gary's Gang was a disco group, who just missed having a Top 40 hit, when their lone Billboard Hot 100 entry "Keep on Dancin'" hit #41 in 1979. The song went top 10 in the UK, making number 8, and made #1 on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart, along with the songs "Do It At the Disco" and "Let's Love Dance Tonight," the latter of which would be used as the sampling background track to Soulsearcher's 1999 #20 Club Play hit "Can't Get Enough."

The group, based in Queens, New York, consisted of Gary Turnier, Eric Matthew, Al Lauricella, Rino Minetti, Bill Catalano, Bob Forman and Jay Leon.

In the UK the act was originally thought to be rock / pop singer, Gary Glitter under another name, as he was known as The Leader of the Gang.
