The Fatback Band hailed out of New York City and were prominent in the 1970s through to the 1980s. (Are You Ready) Do The Bus Stop was released in 1976 the first time, but created a dance craze that would peak during the 80s. The song has recently received the remix treatment from UK DJ/Remixer, Joey Negro.

Satisfaction was released as the 4th and final single from Laura Branigan’s 1984 LP Self Control. The song is pure 1980s high energy disco that showcased her powerhouse vocals in the same light that her signature power ballds did. Laura Branigan unexpectedly died in 2004.
