you must've been VERY young in 1975.

Y'all need to hear Chaka's cover of "Jive Talkin". Or Candi Staton's "Nights on B'way".

Well, I wasn't the oldest fellow (11).  But listen to it again (if you can).  It's not hard to imagine.  Outside of Lou Christie and Franki Valli, men just weren't singing like that in 75.


well, Sylvester was, but he didn't start making records until a few years later.

Not a bad set, just not very adventurous, imo.

Guilty Displeasure of Set: I often find Mr. Zevon's songs kind of overrated, including this one.

It needed some George Clinton.  Or some George Benson.

Your point is well taken with the rockist second half.
