Good start for the top 10. The Curtis Mayfield written "Let's Do It Again" by the Staple Singers at #10. It's bubbling under the top 6000 here at AM.

#11 - The Hustle - Van McCoy

I hated this kind of disco.

New Jersey's own Moments are on right now. The #12 song of the year, a pretty ballad called "Look At Me (I'm In Love)."

Soon after this they became known as Ray, Goodman and Brown.

Bruce

I did not like most of these 1975 records at the time as I was too busy discovering all these great 1950s records. But they sound good now. I hope some of you are taking advantage of this countdown.

By the way, members of the association included Paul Simon and David Hinckley. I saw Paul at a couple of the association's monthly shows over the years.

UGHA (United Group Harmony Association) was a large group of people (over 1000) who like vocal group harmony music, mainly of the pre-Beatles era, which laymen refer to as "doo wops." Here is a link to their member voted top 500 of all time. http://www.ugha.users5.50megs.com/UGHA/ughatop50...

You might agree with this "message" music: The opening music is too offensive for me to even get to the words. OK, then this is what you missed: "what happened to music? nowadays people are making songs that I don't consider "music" anymore. its pretty much they bash compet...

If you want to have a discussion about racial issues, I would be pleased to discuss income inequality with you in a thread in General Discussion.

Bruce, I'm just hoping that you will say to yourself......you know, the forumers are right. I pretty much only listen to old music. My lists of favorites have a couple of token 80s-10s items here and there, but by and large I only really like music done before 19xx. From there maybe you try and fig...

Bruce

I won't take advice from someone who himself isn't interested in discovering new genres, and even virtually ignores entire decades of music. I don't think that you need any advice from me. You already do like more R&B and soul music than most here, witness your nomination of that Tammi Terrell ...

Bruce

However, what I was mostly thinking of, was that I won't take advice from someone who himself isn't interested in discovering new genres, and even virtually ignores entire decades of music. I think most here ignore entire decades of music (1900s, 1910s, 1920s, for instance). I posted my favorite so...

You need to listen to people before you can make people listen to you. It's useless, Henrik, ever since its SavoyBG days Bruce has deliberately ignored all the repeated reproaches formulated against him regarding his attitude. The way he answers to people, only taking some fragments to which he fee...

I'd be happy to. Just point me in the direction of this site.

If you think that Jimi Hendrix did music from a black genre you are missing the point entirely.

Do you also think that Charley Pride did music from a black genre?

This weekend, Rhythm Radio counts down the Top 100 Soul, Funk and Disco Hits of 1975. Black music was going through some changes, and this countdown will reflect that. We'll hear jams by the Isley Brothers, Barry White, Kool & The Gang, Earth Wind & Fire, the Ohio Players, Gwen McCrae, Label...

It's Thursday in Europe already and will be Thursday here in 3 hours.

Just a note to everyone about Bruce. It is clear that he taunts to get a reaction. Sigh.....you've got it all wrong. I'm just hoping that a couple of you will say to themselves......you know, Bruce is right. I pretty much only listen to music that is done by people like myself. My lists of favorite...

Bruce

@Bruce Then why don't you say "There should be more soul music on this list" instead of "There should be more black music?" Why make the leap from under-appreciating a specific genre you think deserves more attention to making it about race? Are you saying that soul music is not...

Bruce

2 or 3 members absolutely adoring a song that the rest of us have never heard of is more interesting to me than 5 or 6 members ranking a song as #10. You will find out about those 2 or 3 people adoring a song without those songs having to finish artifically high in the final results. Just look thro...

Bruce

Bruce, why do you always need to comment on the ethnicity of artists that end up on our lists? I guess because most of the members here do not like very much black music, and clearly prefer genres that are almost exclusively done by whites. Nobody is saying that anybody here is a racist. Just that ...

Bruce

Since you asked and after reading my earlier comment, I can see where further clarification is warranted, I do not care about the "purity" of the results based on some pseudo-objective standard that is likely based on an imperfect set of constraints. Instead, I am interested in understand...

No, before that bit. He makes a suggestion to her about the next guy. He almost says the next guy you fuck, but, with tongue firmly in cheek, he pauses and goes with the next guy you make love to. I assume if he had dropped the f-bomb, the x-rated version would have become the xx-rated version! I l...

I was managing a record store in the 1980s and we had a ton of club and mobile DJ's who bought their records from us. This was a HUGE classic disco cut back then. The original flipside (You're My Everything) was a very big slow dance item.

Bruce

I've already made my nominations, but I'm shocked that these two all time classic soul ballads are not listed on the site:

Bruce

I like that a song/album especially admired by a few people can make the cut. I keeps the poll interesting and sometimes throws up really interesting musical choices. If Roxy Music/10cc/David Bowie were promoted into the top 15 we would be virtually duplicating the AM top 15 for 1975. That would ge...

I have not given much thought to the formula used before, but after reading Zorg's post, I do wonder if it makes sense to use the same formula for albums and songs. Each of us knows far more songs than albums (and for album lovers keep in mind for each album you add to your musical memory bank, you...

The only dirty stuff is in the spoken word intro. Once the singing starts it's the same as the hit version.

Wanting the results quickly and caring for other people are not mutually exclusive. Based on your post, it seems like it is. Or do you think we are unnecessarily friendly to each other in this forum? No, it was supposed to be a funny remark but without the benefit of hearing the way it was said I g...

Ok, after some quick research, I found that there are versions of the song recorded on phonograph cylinders that were sold in the first years of the last century. So what was the first recording? It depends on your definition of "recording". But defining exactly what was the first recordi...

How about the original record version? I do not know if I would call it the original record version, Bruce. I think it's very, very possible that older recorded versions have existed, but did not reached our days, or at least have not reached this U.S. company called Youtube. It's the first time a ...

Cool list, Blanco! :music-listening: Thanks, man! Nice list Blanco, but where's "La Bamba"? It's arguably the most well known song of the Spanish language by non-speakers. Well, here in Mexico it is acclaimed, but not too much. It is more common to hear the Los Lobos's version, probably b...
