dream of a disco



As some of you may already know, music pioneer, humanitarian/activist, and co-founder of West End Records, Mel Cheren passed away on Friday, December 7, 2007. A memorial tribute is being planned around his birthday, January 21, 2008, so stay tuned.

Mel also agreed to do an interview for Logo network to discuss his HIV status openly. In this interview, Mel is brutally honest, but the message is clear: PROTECT YOURSELF AND GET TESTED REGULARLY NO MATTER WHAT AGE YOU ARE!

West End Records gave us some of the best disco and soul music the dance community has ever heard. His loss will be greatly felt by all those who continue to spin, listen, and dance to the music he made possible.
