Background notes

Archive material and source history

Taco was a French disco band formed in 1977, led by Patrick Hernandez on vocals and keyboards. They're best remembered for their 1982 single "Puttin' On The Ritz," which became a global hit. The track's electronic beats and Hernandez's distinctive delivery gave it a different feel from much of the disco at the time.

Other songs in their catalog include "Winchester Cathedral" and "Cheek to Cheek," showing their interest in reworking older standards with a disco arrangement. The band's lineup included Jean-Luc Drion on guitar and Christian Padovan on drums.

After their initial success, Taco released several more singles like "Singin' in the Rain" and "Superstar" through the mid-1980s. Their sound remained rooted in that bright, danceable style that made "Puttin' On The Ritz" work.
