:''For other people with this name, see Jim Burgess (disambiguation)'' James Michael "Jim" Burgess (July 21, 1953– January 18, 1993) was a disco record producer and New York DJ of the 1970s, and was variously referred to as "one of the hottest DJ's and Remixers of the Disco era"〔(Jim Burgess Bio ), www.disco-disco.com, accessed 2008-07-20.〕 He remixed and produced numerous disco versions of popular songs, with a number of them being million sellers. His most successful and best known production was Alicia Bridges' ''I Love the Nightlife'', which has become a "Disco standard". First released in 1978, it went to number five on the Billboard charts, and was given a new lease of life with its use in the 1994 film The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. Other extremely successful productions include: : *Rod Stewart's ''Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?'' : *The Doobie Brothers' ''What a Fool Believes'' (12" disco remix version) and : *Madleen Kane's ''Fire In My Heart'' and ''Secret Love Affair'' He was also a popular DJ at many New York clubs (e.g. The Saint) and was "one of the most influential remixers for the disco era".〔"Moulton, Gibbons and their contemporaries (Jim Burgess, Tee Scott, and later Larry Levan and Shep Pettibone) at Salsoul Records proved to be the most influential group of remixers for the disco era. The Salsoul catalog is seen (especially in Great Britain and Europe) as being the "canon" for the disco mixer's art form."

He trained as a classical tenor and opera singer, and had "an amazing ear". He started as a DJ in Florida in the early-mid 1970s and then "moved on to Limelight, a gay club in Atlanta" where he was "discovered"〔 by Tony Martino and Alan Harris, the owners of the New York club 12 West. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jim Burgess (producer)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
