Love In The 70s - Various Artists

Mostly from the 80s, not many hits & almost no disco tracks

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 ...

Review of Greatest Disco Hits Of 70's 80's 90's - Various Artists

Donny Osmond Love Songs Of The 70's

Advantages: Everything about it.
Disadvantages: It has'nt got any.

Yet another brilliant and organised cd from a member of the extremely talented and THE origanal boyband The Osmonds, yes its the origanal idol from the 70's Donny Osmond with his latest album, Love Songs Of The 70's. This album is packed full of songs origanally from the 70's but has been given a more modern feel to it. In my opinion Donny has probably done the songs as good as, or even in some cases better than the origanal person who sung the songs! I highly recommend this cd to any one who are thinking about buying this album, or if they have only just heard of it. I also recommend this to people who are fans of the songs in this modern take to some classic songs. ...

Review of Love Songs Of The 70's - Donny Osmond

Once upon a time in the 70s

Advantages: Thorough, very readable, well-researched account of the decade
Disadvantages: Not a light read - definitely one for the history enthusiast

, though Fawlty Towers, Led Zeppelin and the Sex Pistols are observed in passing, as is Eric Clapton ? though not for his music, so much as his ill-considered comments onstage supporting Enoch Powell?s stance on immigration, which led to the formation of the Rock Against Racism movement. The author was born a mere ten days before the decade started. As such he was well qualified to write the book without bias, and notwithstanding his credentials as a writer on The Guardian his account is scrupulously objective throughout. Whether you, like I, lived through those days and are interested to see them in perspective, or whether you want to compare the state of Britain with that of a generation ago, you will find this book hard to put down. It?s quite a hefty volume, but if you are interested in the subject you will love it. (This is ...
