Andrea True Connection

The Andrea True Connection is a name that brings to mind the vibrant disco era of the 1970s, epitomized by the catchy, dance-inducing chart-topper "More, More, More." Behind this enduring anthem is Andrea True, an American actress turned pop sensation who carved a unique niche in music history. True was not only the face and voice of the Andrea True Connection but also a key figure in the transition of disco from a burgeoning genre to a global phenomenon. Her career, however, was marked by both its meteoric rise and its sudden quietus as the disco era waned.

Born in Nashville, Tennessee, in 1943, Andrea True ventured into the entertainment industry first as an actress before finding her footing in music. The creation of the Andrea True Connection was a serendipitous event, stemming from True's time in Jamaica during a political crisis that barred her from leaving with her earnings from a commercial shoot. To circumvent this, she decided to record a song, "More, More, More," utilizing local musicians. This track, a blend of disco, funk, and soul, not only allowed her to bring her earnings back to the United States but also catapulted her into music stardom. Despite the fleeting nature of her musical career, Andrea True left an indelible mark on the disco scene, embodying its ethos of liberation and joy, before passing away in 2011. Her legacy, encapsulated in the undying popularity of "More, More, More," continues to ignite dance floors and inspire generations of music enthusiasts worldwide.
