Boogie People was a Canadian disco[1] group from Montreal, led by producer-songwriters Bruno Perri and Yves Charbonneau. The group only ever released one album, and quietly disbanded a year later.
History
[edit]Boogie People was formed in 1979, in the city of Montreal,[2] by producer-songwriters Bruno Perri and Yves Charbonneau, and singers Johanne Desforges, Judi Richards, and Lorri Zimmerman, the latter two being ex-members of another Canadian disco group, Toulouse.[3] In May of that same year, Boogie People signed to Magnum Records, a division of GRT Canada, which was also launched in 1979.[4] Shortly after the signing, the group finished recording their self-titled debut album,[2] and released their debut single, "Dance In America."[5][6] They released their self-titled debut studio album shortly after.[7] The album wasn't successful, but it was heavily imported into the US.[8]
In 1979, their label, Magnum Records, went out of business with the bankruptcy of GRT Canada.[9] The next year they signed with Unidisc Music, and released a new 12-inch single, "Traffic Breakdown." The song was entirely instrumental, and was produced by Vince Ciambrone.[10] It was the group's final release, as the group disbanded shortly after.
