Foxy - Get Off (1978) Rock Planet • TopPop

This is a YouTube première! Foxy was a late ’70s Latin dance/disco group from Hialeah, Florida. The group initially consisted of singer and guitarist Ish “Angel“ Ledesma, percussionist Richard “Richie“ Puente, keyboardist Charlie Murciano, bass guitarist Arnold Paseiro, and drummer Joe Galdo, and (for the first album) co-lead vocalist Gary Ortiz. Shortly after the first album was issued, Ortiz was replaced by Carlo Driggs, who contributed vocals/percussion and shared songwriting credits on Foxy’s second album, Get Off. Foxy’s biggest hit was “Get Off“ in 1978 (written by Ledesma and Driggs), which peaked at #9 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #1 on the Soul chart for two weeks. The song was a Dutch #1 smash hit single. It was their only release from the 1978 album Get Off, which was released in 1978. This video was recorded and broadcast at the TROS Top50 Rock Planet Chart show of December 2, 1978, when the single was no 1 in the Netherlands Top 40. Watch our great music videos ❯ More TopPop?
