Advantages: The 6 number 1 records Disadvantages: The rest of the tracks are rubbish
. Finally after 7 tracks we get something from the 70's! From 1974 it was #3 in the UK but only #4 in the US R&B Charts despite being classed as a soul song, so yes it was a hit but no it wasn't disco.
8. Going Back To My Roots - Odyssey. From 1981 and it was more popular in the UK than anywhere else as it was #4, its best in America was #55 on the US Dance Charts. What you might not know (and I certainly didn't until today) was theirs was a cover version of Lamont Doziers 1977 funk original. Oh and his version is better than theirs.
9. So Many Men So Little Time - Miquel Brown. From 1983 and produced by Ian Levine, the same guy who wrote and produced High Energy. This track was actually the 1st creation in the HI-NRG club music genre made in an attempt to prove disco wasn't dead. According to Ian Levines Youtube entry it was #1 pop in ...
Advantages: Fab price; Far better tracklisting than most 70s compilations; Loads of classics! Disadvantages: The odd 'filler track' and uninspiring liner notes.
("She's Gone") which along with number 1 hits such as Art Garfunkel's 'I Only Have Eyes For You' and Chicago's classic 'If You Leave Me Now' more than make up for the less impressive selections.
Disc 2 contains 'Northern Lights' by Renaissance which is one of my all time favourite 70s songs, sounding along the same lines as an ABBA track or two but with theunique folkish style of Renaissance. I bought the boxset specifically to own this track on CD - well worth a listen! Disc 2 contains the excellent 'Wig Wam Bam' from the Sweet and Mott the Hoople's 'All The Young Dudes' (70s anthem by far.) 'Sheena is a Punk Rocker' by the Ramones also crops up on disc 2, representing a driving punk/new wave anthem albeit with a more commercial edge.
Other legendary artists/acts such as T. Rex ), Elvis Presley, David Essex, ELO and Chris Rea ...
'The Cool Sound of the 70s' - brought out in 2000, is a double CD with 19 tracks on each CD. This is brought to you by 'Telstar Records'. The front cover is in red and yellow with a picture of one of those Chopper bikes on the front. Remember them?! The tracks on here cover a wide range of the music in the 70s, and is a great way of remembering your youth or childhood (in my case!).
DISC 1
~~~~~
1) Barry White
You're the First, My Last, My Everything.
**Barry White is known for his deep, deep voice and the romance that surrounds his songs. And this is no exception. A ballard that can be played for any romantic occasion**
2) Stevie Wonder
Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours.
**This is a bit more upbeat. Cetainly a catchy little number that you can't help singing to.**
3) Simon & Garfunkel
Bridge over Trouble Waters ...
