REISSUE: “Love Is The Ultimate” by Ultimate – Disco Video Mix by Glenn Rivera







Ultimate is a studio concept band from Juliano Salerni and Casablanca Records from 1978 – the fusion of the Euro-disco sound with a touch of the magic of Philly. This project was a big part of the disco surge in the late 70s and is a favorite hardcore classic.

“Love Is The Ultimate” is a side-long medley featuring three parts which are neatly rolled into a 12” remix by Howard Merritt.

I have taken the 1987 film “Dirty Dancing” starring Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze and transformed the dance sequences and love scenes into a disco extravaganza. The film works quite well with the romantic edge of Euro-disco. There is a bit or eroticism and the sensual aura that disco has always expressed well.

The film was directed by Emile Ardolino

  1. One my fav Video Mixes!
    In regards to Ultimate they sound so much like the vocalist that were used on Boris Midney's - Beautiful Bend Album.

  2. Although they are credited at the Ultimate Singers - I think you are right. This was a time when they fought to make it like the last hit and Bruce Weeden (who was a part of Ultimate) along with Guiliano Salerni was also apart of USA European Connection.
