Hit #1 on the Billboard dance chart for 1 week in Oct 1976

[thesiouxgoddess]

For the 1 person who dislikes this..............YOU ARE DEAF! I feel like doing the "Jitterbug" every time I here this track! It's that uplifting.

[w3mq]

Corey was great, what happened? Her voice was just as good if not better than most of the female singers of Her day.And much better than these singers of today. I have always wondered why She didn't make the big time like everyone else. Can anyone fill me in?

[elevepremierships]

My fave song from one of my all time fave albums. Thanks for posting.

[BabyRae723]

[alfeathea]

classic 70's. Beautiful album. A million and one samples for my "old heads"...

[curtiscrush]

the passion and sadness in her voice made me a huge fan. " there ain't nothin' baby, that i won't ever do, when i meet a guy who is lovely as you..."

I'm in my 30s so I didn't hear this song when it originally came out... but I would have loved to have been there! What a special and happy-inducing song. :)

[TheColourGurl]

Who remembers what dance we were doing to this?

[boomcc1]

@TheColourGurl  NO DANCE BECAUSE I COULD'NT STAND THIS BAND EWWW

BOOMCC1

[psnystud]

@TheColourGurl We were all really doing the hustle, freestyle dancing was hapenning but many guys did not know how to dance. It was usually girls with girls.

[Khultan]

@psnystud Wait a minute, you're not talking about NYC, right? I just chimed in on a conversation.

[foggey]

when this album first dropped in london,it was like a breath of freshness about it.tight musically rich and afab voice , nothing 's change blood , the test of time as prooved it a classic then as well as now, . truly great musicianship. class from top to the last track .

[skysoldiersf]

Most of the people that know this band come from new york in the 70's when life was right. Not the bullshit of today pull your pants up dick head.

[ciales58]

Practiced dancing the Latin Hustle to this with a great person at the time....hope this person can remember how we had chemistry on the dance floor when we danced to this at Roseland NYC!

[chucksterberg]

This album fit in completely with the Disco scene back in the day. Lead Singer and back-ups were great!! All of your big time night spots were playing Cherchez la femme. Great days, great music. Brings back wonderful memories. Thanks for sharing.

[hoopoe222]

Dr Buzzard is August Darnell who went on to form Kid Creole and the Coconuts.

[Bklynnybabe]

Love it Thanks - always sang it since it came out back in the day - even my 23yrs olds sings it with me -

[heatherspeaks]

I will play the fool for you anytime you want me to. All you got to do is snap your fingers or say jump. When you say jump, i will look down as i am jumping up and say "how high do you want me to jump".

[sropiza]

One of the best concieved albums ever homage to big band yet current to the younger generation..I of course was in diapers when this album came out my older siblings played it endlessly

[bjroberts65]

AURORA...I'll PLAY THE FOOL FOR YOU.

[airjor1]

The Beautiful Cory Daye!

[Dizzy2381]

I always said the guy who knows and loves Dr. Buzzard is my soulmate, more musical now then romantic...

[sonwamac]

As Stevie said..where were you when I needed you

[TheKaymalee]

omg i said the same thing! i found him

[dbcarth]

Just wonderful!!!!!!!!

Cory Daye, where have you been?

What a great voice!

[cmm282008]

[sonwamac]

Cory Daye is the shit...she should be a bigger name in the history of r&b

[sdsaucysd]

manchester england 1976 only in the ranch bar cool scene love it great memories. heard darnell hooked up with a manchester girl ? during his k id creole days on tour in manchester in the 80's

[24656]

That's the band where Kid Creole started

[insideplaya]

The essential NY concept band of the era. The perfect combo of glam, camp, humor and romance. Tommy Motola's first real ticket to the dance. Such a good feeling! Thx 4 posting.

[jabbojones814]

zoot suit city

[bb307dd]

What happened to this type of music oh so refreshing i miss it!!!!!!!!!!!

[JayinPa]

NYC in the 1970s. Has there ever been a better spot in the time/space continuum?

[festuna]

no and there never will be

[cornmashmeanscash]

No it was fabulous back then, maybe because we were younger. I still live here and Rudy and Bloomburg have turned it into a big little town. It's boring as hell, lost it's edge in the mid '90s.

[sonyabolonya]

Yes sblizzy...this definitely is all about NYC...i lived there from 82 to 01 and in addition to acquiring a career practically danced my life away...drinking nothing but H2O at the clubs..dancing with olympic frenzy and dressing down afterwards to take the 3rd ave bus home early in the morning

and only TAKING phone numbers:)

[Myrolex]

I always loved this one.. her voice reminds me of my childhood!

[ret23867]

One of the best R&B albums ever made just put it on and let it do what it do from beginning to the end.

[sblizzy]

This reminds me of New York City!!

[chem100]

Was in NYC in the 1970s and yes THIS in NYC then. Wish it was still true.

[hahasaidthecar]

Could someone, anyone rip their vinyl and post something from "Dr Buzzard Goes To Washington"?

I am missing my copy!!!

[MundiWorld]

Something from "Dr Buzzard Goes To Washington" posted

[hahasaidthecar]

[Chrisandlon]

Wow! Takes me back to my teen years hanging out in Central Park. Those were some of the best years of my life. Women...women...women...Damn!! (Miss it)

[anglfuegoestuya]

HAHA...i'm feeling you; the fountain was IT!

[Icedrunk1]

chem100, What up? I was a teenager a bit later, in Chicago, but the same concept applies. Disco forever!!...

[chem100]

Disco Forever!!! Always. This is as good as it gets.

[Blackpool77]

Classic from the Manchester Ritz All-dayers which led to Colin Curtis playing stuff like Patsy Galant and Sergio Mendes a little bit later and in turn led to the great Manchester Black Music and Jazz Funk scene in the 80s

[chem100]

Jersey City, teen years for me. It is still GREAT music. It inspired me to go into "The City" and "The City" changed my life for the better forever. I was 16 or so at the time. I had a job in Manhattan when I was 19.

[gfora111]

Talk about memmories, 10 yrs old living in Queens on top of a store.Father was working, my would put this album on and clean the house while we wacthed her dancing,singing to the whole album!

[bjroberts65]

my father had this album. and i played it more than him.

[nygirl59]

wow brings me back to Brooklyn

teenage years...what a blast!!!!!!

best times of my life

[Gerry76alpha]

This song is excellent I was only a baby when they were doing they thang!But like to think that my soul was bathed in this excellence, by my folks.Would love to visit this past.

[gloco620]

I agree with you, I was around 6 when this song came out but my Dad would play it and we would dance all around.........This is music. I absolutely love this band and now I play it for my kids.

[AirfficiaL]

Tommy Motola!

[ajacqx]

...yeah, he lost his lady... some time ago! Now she's emancipated and squared. So I guess it was just in the Nick of time, hey?

[Munchenette]

[Belburg]

[delilah7900]

[seevega]

I think you're all about forty?!......

[paulojbotto]

The best music from them - even better than Cherchez la Femme. You feel like in 1930's

[swt32567]

This song reminds me of W.B.L.S. & the New York sound of the fall of 1976. This is such good music with a certain"Touch of Class". Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band was "Hittin'& Stickin". Cory Day's voice was perfect. She had great vocal range & style. I love this period of the Disco Era. Great music & great times. Thanx Hoodylp25 for posting this classic.

[chinita41]

one of my all time favorites this and their sunshower song.

[riffrafoo]

This music was the best ever! It was the music to dance with your honey close. Just like dancing with the stars is today.

[sblizzy]

Do you remember Morning, noon, and night with Bite your granny?

[sblizzy]

This was the jam!!!!

[ScurvOriginalz]

Does anyone have music from their second & third album? New York at Dawn? Transistor Madness? These albums didn't do as well as the first but since I am a die hard fan, I loved them just as much.

[peachesncreamme]

Transistor Madness is the SH*T! Been waiting for that post for a while now....

[MundiWorld]

Italiano (3rd lp) posted

[meme737]

ok ok..y'all remember World's Best Looking Sound (WBLS) and WLIB with "Chief Rocker" Frankie Crocker?

[sblizzy]

Who can't forget Frankie "Hollywood" Crocker!!!!

[hez524]

This is hybrid disco! Way before Studio 54 attempted to be an "exclusive" disco. Harold Melvin, The Hughes Corperation, The Ojays and of course Barry White.

[mslovey]

THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES!

[Eden2Gethsemane]

Cory Day and Alicia Myers...I love their voices. She rocks this song hard! I really enjoy this band, and this happend to be one of my fav songs.

[wayneb4]

[damage04life]

[Hoodylp25]

[hez524]

Do you have any Hughes Corperation? The Shylites (sp?)

[hez524]

[hez524]

Much thanks-good taste is a New York thing!

[68NYC]
