Dennis Parker's Like An Eagle has been recently brought to my attention (trainspotter that I am) thanks to the good folks at Firecracker Recordings (Linkwood and House Of Traps) who sampled the hook for their track Barely Eagle on the Firecracker 4 EP released earlier this year. Like An Eagle was the only album that Dennis Parker, formerly an adult movie actor, released for Casablanca Records in 1979. It was produced by Jacques Morali who is most famous for creating the Village People. Like An Eagle is a true disco classic full of sadness and longing, but it's all about the hook which of course truly soars and gives this song a really epic quality. Dennis Parker committed suicide in 1985 while suffering from A.I.D.S
