Chart #4
January 23, 2021



The chart gets a bit of a shake up this week: four new songs in the Top 40 , three new songs in the Top Ten, and after five weeks of MY SWEET LORD at the top,...

well uh ya ,now that you point it out , that might've had something to do with it!!! (who does that!?)

LOL!!

Hey , how was Heart btw?

You've got me listening to Nona '77! She sounds quite accessible ... nothing jarring. (not sure why I was expecting that)

This kind of crack me up. Good ol' cowbell...

There would have to be a sense of genuine fun and of purpose .Otherwise it would likely be bittersweet at this point, maybe even sad to witness. All this wasted time , hating.

And Mary as one...

Interesting stuff. You said 1975 so definitively that I thought there must've been a specific article that occurred in that year in which she made her personal affairs public. That would've likely...

Having trouble with this one . Had Nona come out in 1975, and Patti split ties with her in 1976, I don't think that would've sat well with their significant gay fan base. Also what songs were tinged...

We can only guess which of the triad doomed her most ... or just bad "material" forgive the pun.

Bobby, she came out in '75??
She put out an LP in '77 , so not sure how blacklisted she was ....

So is that a good gig or a bad one when GUILTY by Barbra Streisand is the nights high point? :confused:



OMGosh then poor Nona Hendryx , she was DOOMED !:p

good for Mary. Never say never .

Maybe Diana needs to listen to her own messaging

reach out and touch somebody's hand make this word a better place if you can. In these times - what a powerful...

whats Marlo Thomas doing on those CDs

*** Phil Spector passed away today Jan 17, 2021, exactly 50 years after this chart in which he has the #1 song produced by him:
MY SWEET LORD/ ISN'T IT A PITY-George Harrison
and a song written...

Thelma gets it. She sums up the disco sound perfectly at 1:22:

lol!


here's Earl Young, the disco beat's original architect, explaining it...

Hilarious. You mean like high school wrestling? Or the fake stuff? I don't imagine wrestling having a theme song anyway , but LOVE'S THEME ! ....!

Don't get me started ! lol! Don't try to pigeon hole 'disco' as any one sound ....it varied greatly . But yes there was some great orchestrated disco.
LOVE'S THEME predates the 'disco' term...

lmao ! Hilarious! well, it was memorable. ( get your money back??)

I do get your point . Kool & The Gang are similar in their evolution.

That's the thing though. An artist didn't choose disco, it chose you! Disco was self birthed, self determinate. If your music...

Interesting post Bobby. I agree with it in parts. (Ohio Players and EW&F also did disco btw). To bring race into the backlash issue , is easy to want to do these days, but back then , it wasn't...

It's been pointed out to me that Marvin Gaye (with The Andantes?) under the guidance of Hal Davis did a cover version of 5-10-15 -20 ( 25 -30 YEARS OF LOVE) not released at the time :

...

I keep going back to this record as disco's birth (those string stabs at :56!) !) :

Jerry Butler was working with Gamble and Huff at this...

When they performed at the time on these shows it was a one time thing , a clever change seemed refreshing , it aired and it was over with. Who...

good stuff ! Willie's voice makes me feel good , uplifting !

What was the category??

'Dirty Secrets Of The TOP 40' ?
'Fooled Ya!!' ?
'No Sh*t!!?' ?

:p

Week 2
JAN 9 1971


Typical week , with the major songs holding steady at the top , shifting just a bit , up if able or down if forced , while several up-and-comers salivate for their turn at ...
