It became the first commercially available 12-inch single in the world, and his best-known remix. His remix of “Hit and Run” by Loleatta Holloway was a surprise hit. He released Salsoul mixes such as Disco Boogie: Super Hits for Non-Stop Dancing (1976) and Disco Madness (1979), the latter being the first full-length release by a solo remixer. He also worked on labels such as West End and Gold Mind.
