Lynda Carter (1978) Toto(Don't it Feel Like Paradise)
Wonder Woman star like John Travolta tried to trade in her TV fame into commercial success in Music, having originally started as a singer. The tune is vibrant in this Boz Scaggs styled soft rock hit with Wizard of Oz referenced lyrics that don't necessarily match the sensual, disco nature of the song. But worth a listen to hear her sing 'I Want to Go Home' around 2 minutes it displays a raw emotive soulful element missing form a lot of her work unfortunately. The track and majority of her Portrait (1978) album does lie on the wrong side of being too laidback but the funky Want to Get Beside you is a change of pace from the album's sleepy Adult Contemporary sound.
