Song:Silent Morning
Album:Disco Box Vol. 9: Dance Machine
Silent Morning was one of three top ten dance hits for Noel Pagan in 1987. Silent Morning crossed over to pop. Pagan was born in The Bronx. He's of Cuban descent. So he obviously gravitated towards Freestyle dance music. He got a record deal when he met Vito Bruno who became his manager and he took Pagan into the recording studio to work with Paul Robb of Information Society and remix guy Roman Ricardo. Silent Morning was the result. Pagan wrote the song. It was thought at the time that the song was about AIDS. But Pagan says it's about a split with a girlfriend. Silent Morning reached #6 on the Dance chart. He signed with Island's 4th & B'way label to record an album. After that was released in 1987, Silent Morning reached #47 on the Billboard Hot 100. Pagan had a couple more dance hits. Today Silent Morning is considered to be a Freestyle classic and you can find it on plenty of various artists comps. Pagan was the lead singer on the 1990 dance hit The Question from Tony Moran's album Concept Of One. And Pagan released the 1993 album Hearts On Fire on Mercury. This was more of a pop album. Since then, he has released occasional singles and he still performs. He has a Facebook page if you want to see what he is up to. Here's the video for Silent Morning by Noel.
