thank you thank you Dylan for this link. What great stuff, exactly the kind of thing I treasure, first hand accounts of how record making went down.
I've listened to your first two links thus far , fascinating stuff about how an unknown kid producer took an unknown act, Friends Of Distinction, to gold record success , just to have it fall apart needlessly.
Always loved the song HARLEM by the Fifth Dimension and loved learning about it. Hoped it'd be talked about and it was. Thinking about it now, of course the tough song was too big a departure from what the group was known for and so it failed , with some programmers returning the record broken!!!
I almost weep in my yearning to hear Marylin McCoo do I HONESTLY LOVE YOU . What a shame.
Can't wait to hear John Florez recount the ROCK THE BOAT story!
thank you thank you !
