Tony Valor Sounds Orchestra

Band,
R&B/Soul

The first song put out under the Tony Valor Sounds Orchestra was "Ma-Mo-Ah, on a 7 inch single, & the LP "Gotta Get it". This original mix was done by the one and only TOM MOULTON (The 45 & LP versions are the same mix, just different edits) and later as a Brunswick 12 inch single in 1977 as "Ma-Mo-Ah (Take II)." This 12" version was a remix by Tony Valor himself, with added percussion. "Ma-Mo-Ah" was a worldwide smash in 1977 and has been re-released a few times since then. Valor said; "It gets sampled a lot and how I can tell is there was something I did on that record that has not been done before or since. I encoded certain things in DBX… so it had this particular sound. No one knows how I did it and if they take the sample they can’t change that."
