Surrounding the hipe of 54's movie premier, she has been on a whirl- wind tour of appearances, interviews and gigs. Amidst her busy schedule I managed to talk with her before her upcoming appearance in Houston this weekend at Rich's.

TWT: What was your involvement with the movie, 54? Thelma: Salma Hayek's character, Anita, wants to be a singer and meets her even- tual record producer. She debuts at the club, and I co-wrote the song with my friend , who you might remem- ber from having written "I've Got A New Attitude."

When I go into a club theSe days, and they play "Don't Leave Me This Way" or "I Will Survive" or "Turn the Beat Around" or any of those songs, peo- ple just jump out on the dance floor and automatically start dancing. I guess that's testimony that the music was really good. I went through a period of feeling hatred, from the record industry for the disco movement. But it's good to see that the music has survived and that it's back. And to be very honest with you, I don't think it ever left. I just think that it was played at a certain time. It wasn't commercial, but look at all the retro stations you have now and all the radio stations that are playing retro music.
