Spinner reports that Andrea True, the singer behind the classic 1976 disco hit "More, More, More" died Nov. 7 in Kingston, N.Y., of undisclosed causes. She was 68.
Find: What were the best disco songs of the '70s?
True had one of the weirder and more interesting life stories of any hit-making singer. Born in Nashville, True had attempted to launch a career as a legitimate actress before becoming a full-time porn star, a career she returned to after her music career ended.
She recorded "More, More, More" while stranded in Jamaica, where she'd filmed a commercial. After that one hit, she recorded a few other singles and released her last album in 1980. Before her death, she was working as a drug counselor and astrologer.
