This record is the Frank Wilson (Do I Love You) of doo wop. Number one of all time in its sub-genre (Northern Soul). I see the Frank Wilson has found its way on to the AM list now.

Hymie

If there were critics who specialized in just doo wop records, this would be number one all time. It has topped many polls among hard core doo wop collectors. I am wondering what people here would think of it. From 1953. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNUMpWp1KsY Here's one big poll it topped. http...

September 4, 2015, Rolling Stones' guitarist Keith Richards told The New York Daily News that Rap music was for "tone deaf people." He went on to say "All they need is a drum beat and somebody yelling over it and they're happy. There's an enormous market for people who can't tell one ...

Never thought I'd see a song from before 1970 get less than an 8 from Hymie!

From Wikipedia article on the song: "Comin' Home Baby" is a song originally written as an instrumental by Ben Tucker and first recorded by the Dave Bailey Quintet in 1961, and shortly thereafter by Herbie Mann. Lyrics were added by Bob Dorough, and the vocal version became a US Top 40 hit...

[Also, there is disagreement over what counts as a real song for some genres (like I doubt Hurt would top a country poll or Strange Fruit would top a jazz poll).

Further, even if you think you’re completely correct, pick your battles. I can’t imagine why you would specifically derail this thread that is about BleuPanda’s list, at least that Rolling Stone thread warranted that kind of macro discussion.

Does anybody really believe that 1990s music is 7 times as good as 1940s music? Many, many people believe that. Nobody over the age of 80 believes that. And no real objective music historian believes that either. I would say most people my age believe that. Not that it makes them right. You know re...

Pre-COVID he was going to do a big North America tour that included venues like the Staples Center in LA and Barclays Center in NYC. I have no idea if those shows were sold out or would have sold out, but you can't book those arenas without a big fan base. Okay, if he can play those places he must ...

Hymie

Does he sell out places in the USA? Do you think that it is accurate to say that he is a more acclaimed recording artist than Frank Sinatra? The USA is not the world. But although I'm tempted to discuss Nick Cave more, I don't think it all that interesting if the subject is just the artist ranking ...

Hymie

Nick Cave may not have had much chart success, but he can still sell out arenas around the world decades into his career, and his songs show up in TV and movies all the time. He's not a household name, but there's something to be said for the enduring popularity of his music, and I'd argue he's as ...

Hymie

I was curious about this act. I just listened to the most acclaimed song in his catalog, "The Mercy Seat." It was awful IMO. I also see that through 2006 he had never had a chart single in the USA. My album chart book only goes up to 1996, but he had nothing in there either. I imagine he ...

I'd call it jazz. It did not make Billboard's R&B chart, but it did make the lower rung of Cash Box's R&B chart, got up to the low 30s.
