Deputy of Love

"Deputy of Love" is a 1979 disco single by Don Armando.

Background

The words and music were composed by Ronald Bruce Rogers, known for short as Ron Rogers.[1] A native New Yorker born in the South Bronx, he also played piano on the Ze Records recording. Rogers went on to write and produce a string of dance records,[2] including "Lifeboat Party"[3] and "Gina Gina"[4] for Kid Creole and the Coconuts. The song went to number one on the US disco chart, becoming the last single to hit the top spot during the 1970s.[5] It did not make it on to either the US Billboard Hot 100 or Billboard R&B chart. The vocalist on "Deputy of Love", Fonda Rae, went on to success on the dance and soul charts during the 1980s.
