Shirley Ross - If You Leave Me Now (12'' Maxi) 1983 italo disco classic VERY RARE!

The amazingly beautiful and rare 1983 electronic italo disco 12'' by Shirley Ross (aka Valerie Dore/Dora Carofiglio) singing 'If You Leave Me Now'.

Shirley Ross (aka Dora Carofiglio) was the lead singer of Novecento, and also well known as a solo project Valerie Dore. Most (or all) 12" were produced by Pino, Ross and Lino Nicolosi. Arguably, Dora Carofiglio is the best vocal in Italo Disco. In the early 90's, Dora Carofiglio married one of the Nicolosi siblings & took on their name becoming Dora Nicolosi.

Retro Disco Hi-NRG thoughts... "a very rare and well produced record which was famously played as the final closing song each night at THE RIVIERA! (a popular gay disco in Durban, South Africa in the late 80's/early 90's....) A beautiful record which i searched 20+ years to find" :)
