'Awitin Mo at Isasayaw Ko' turns 40 and VST & Co. are holding a concert

MANILA -- Did you know that VST & Company’s disco anthem, “Awitin Mo at Isasayaw Ko,” was not the original single that was supposed to be released by the group four decades ago?

“He [Tito] asked me to come up with a recording ASAP, as our rival was planning to produce a new single and we had to get ahead of their release. My only direction from Tito was to create something different from what was currently on the airwaves. “I already had one other song previously arranged and recorded, ‘Ikaw ang Aking Mahal,’ a ballad which the record company decided to be the side A of the single which would be promoted and pushed.

Fernandez admits to being a fan of VST & Company. “May good news po ako sa inyong lahat. Kung fans po kayo ng VST, now you have a chance to see them and listen to their songs one more time,” she said. Meanwhile, Oscar Miranda directed “Rock Baby, Rock” , with Santos and Spanish-born singer Junior, the Sotto brothers, De Leon and other members of VST & Company.When “Eat Bulaga” premiered on Philippine TV in 1979, VST & Company became a regular performer on the noontime show hosted by the Sotto brothers with De Leon.

That first, successful concert undeniably started the “VST Mania” that created the band’s huge impact on Philippine pop culture. “In a span of three years, everything VST and its music were on top of the music scene, with the attention among the youth greatly unexpected. We realized being ordinary guys, like walking to Greenhills or enjoying time out for a movie, was not something we could do anymore.”“Especially when we had to deal with the downside of being popular,” Roger reasoned out. “We easily became the envy of a few in a rather patriarchal culture.

It was a roaring trip down memory lane, as Spanky and Roger generously relived the hits of VST. They rendered popular dance ditties and crowd favorites like “Rock Baby Rock,” “Awitin Mo at Isasayaw Ko” and “Disco Fever,” to soaring ballads like “Ipagpatawad Mo” and “Ikaw ang Aking Mahal.” “Notably, Lorrie was the one who arranged the iconic ‘Awitin Mo at Isasayaw Ko.’ We finally had the chance to get caught up with each other. And that’s where the idea of holding a dedicated concert started.”Today, however, VST & Company still feels the impact of their songs among their many contemporaries from the era of the '70s. “Most have their own families, with the children growing up with our music,” Roger proudly beamed.
