Le Pamlemousse ,

meaning “The Grapefruit” in French – was a faceless disco ensemble by producers Laurin Rinder & W. Michael Lewis. No actual group existed, all the vocals were done by interchangeable session singers, similar to Rinder & Lewis’ other brainchild El Coco. Debuting with the self-titled Le Pamplemousse album 1976, a string of successful 12″s followed, in particular “Le Spank” and “Get Your Boom Boom (Around The Room Room)” from their second album on which The Jones Girls contributed vocals, and “Monkey See, Monkey Do” and “Do You Have Any?”. The LPs were all packaged in erotic covers, centered around a juicy grapefruit. With the arrival of the 80s, disco’s popularity had dropped drastically, and their albums on to 1984’s final Put Your Love Where Your Mouth Is featuring some Gloria Gold were all poor sellers.
