Disco project, Stars On 45, was a very successful brainchild of producer Jaap Eggermont (earlier produced Livin' Blues). The formula was simple: put together a medley of famous Top 40 pop covers from the past and present to a disco rhythm, American style. It sold like hot cakes both in The Netherlands and abroad. In England, they were dubbed Star Sound; in America - just Stars On. Their records featured, amongst others, Albert West, Bas Muys (Beatles medley), Tony Sherman (Stevie Wonder medley), Jody Pijper, Arnie Treffers (Long Tall Ernie & The Shakers).
