The other day as I was browsing through Jay-jay Johanson's discography, I came across the name Dee D. Jackson & Johanson's cover of her hit, "Automatic Lover." Curious, I thought I'd check her out. . . .
Dee D. Jackson is a British disco queen from the 70s who before turning to music was a film producer in Munich. (I wonder how active she was in her music video production...) Her biggest success came at the beginning of her musical career with "Automatic Lover" in 1978 off of Cosmic Curves.
While Dee D. (born Deirdre Elaine Cozier) is an Oxford child - her main following came from non-English speaking countries: Brazil, Germany, Argentina, Italy, France, Spain, Japan..... In fact she was so massive in Brazil, that 'impersonators' popped up to fill the much yearned for intergalactic love & were introduced as D. Dee Jackson (instead of Dee D.) to dance & lip-sync to the songs.
Gotta love the thrusting, chest bumping & galloping!
...
Dee D. now owns a record label in Italy & evidently has a cosmic child named Norman.
