More More More might seem kitsch today but all of the artists had credentials: Andrea True was a studied musician, Gregg Diamond a storied producer who was behind the scenes on many great dance records of the 1970s, while legendary disco engineer Tom Moulton mixed the record and gave it its club groove. True retired from porn not long after in order to focus on her music career but like many disco musicians at the time, her career faltered following 1979’s Disco Demolition Night, with her new wave-influenced third album not even receiving a US release when it was completed in 1980. She later attempted to return to adult films, albeit fairly unsuccessfully.

Andrea True Connection’s More More More is one of the most recognisable songs of the disco era, thanks in part to a revival kickstarted in the 1990s with Len sampling the track on their ultra-hit Steal My Sunshine and with its hook being used in a famous Sex & The City promo. Yet Andrea True herself remains a somewhat forgotten figure. She acted in dozens of porn films throughout the 1960s and 70s and she became so successful in her industry that she was recognisable enough to appear in a real estate advert in Jamaica in 1975. A political crisis arising out of US sanctions against the island prevented True from taking her advertising earnings out of Jamaica, so she instead used them to bankroll the recording of the single locally. After flying in producer Gregg Diamond, she released the song stateside where it became a nightclub hit and it scored highly on the Billboard chart.
