What I think
Rudy was the first name of Rudy Trevesi,
a multi instrumentalist and vocalist from Italy. This solo-effort was produced by Jacques Fred Petrus and Mauro
Malavasi in 1979 and released on Polydor.
In line with all other Goody Music efforts, the album was recorded in Italy
(Fonoprint Studio's) and mixed in NY (Power Station). The background vocals were recorded in NY, too.
On the album,
Rudy played percussion and conga's, saxophone, and various keyboards. The album contained 5 songs:
A1. White room A2.
Just take my body A3. Higher B1. Thank you baby B2. Can you stop woman
The song "White Room" was a disco remake
of a song by pop band Cream which came out in 1968 (odly enough also on the Polydor label). Jacques Fred Petrus liked the
concept of creating disco remakes, as he also put out Macho's "I'm a man" originally released in 1967 by the Spencer Davis Group.
Rudy Trevesi can be found on many Jacques Fred Petrus album
projects, but "Just take my body" was to be his only solo effort. The album is somewhat rare and has never been issued on
CD as far as I am aware.
