What's your pump up theme song?

But sometimes, nothing like a little blues and smokin guitar

sometimes it helps if you just got paid

   The late Andrea True...the only porn star to have a number one hit single on the Billboard charts.  Had the pleasure of meeting and interviewing her twice. Once when a porn movie of hers was released (pre VHS years ) and two years later backstage at her concert as this song hit number one.  She was quite the character both times.Still have an autographed copy of her lp in my collection.

  Chuckle...no, I saw it on the big screen , that particular Andrea True movie was a talkie. Don't recall her doing any 8mm loops.

  Found this bio on the internet : Nashville-born Andrea True moved to New York to become an actress. After managing to get a few jobs as an extra (in The Way We Were (1973) and 40 Carats (1973), among others) she embarked on a career as a porn star, and quickly became one of the best-known in the business although--at $500 per picture--not among the best paid. While still involved in the porn business she was trying to obtain roles in "legitimate" films, but none came her way. She had been writing music for TV commercials and singing in various clubs around New York City, and obtained an assignment on the Caribbean island of Jamaica to shoot commercials for a local company. She got caught up in the political instability that was ravaging the island at the time and was forbidden to leave the country with the money she earned from the commercial. Resourcefully, she called a record producer friend in New York, Gregg Diamond, and had him bring down a music track so she could record a song in a local studio and, in effect, launder her money and take it out of the country in the form of a master tape. The track Diamond brought down was an instrumental one he had produced and recorded but had no lyrics for. He and True got together, worked on the music, hired some local musicians and the result, once the tape was brought back to New York and remixed, was what would become her #1 disco hit in 1976, "More More More (How Do You Like It?)". She recorded a few more albums, but none achieved the success of her initial effort. In 1980 she abruptly left the porn business, and little was heard from her until news of her death at age 68 on November 7, 2011.

And let’s not forget Rebel Yell.  This one kicked off my ski mix tape that I played at full volume on my Sony Walkman cassette player.  Always got the adrenaline pumping for that first run!
