@Jo2hu7 How can you say that when he came back and won the rematch? Did he miraculously shake off Parkinson's a year later. Do everyone a favor and shut up.

@salimhamza88 You're an idiot.

Ain't nothing like this being made these days...or probably in the last 25 years! This song holds up now as well as did back in '77. Shout out to my man Sam Wilhite wherever you are...The biggest of the Commodore fans!

How in the HELL is Rice No. 1 over Brown???? By what inane criteria did they come up with this ranking? Because he walked away after only nine seasons? That's like saying Koufax isn't the greatest lefthander in MLB history because he voluntarily retired at his peak in '66 at age 30! Ridiculous. C...

Great airy sound to this track. almost like a Bacharach 1960's sound. Bought this in high school, and although this didn't get airplay it was my fave. And what can you say about Johnny Wilder? Awesome vocals and what a tragic story.

@kiddfunknyc Right On!!! This and "Everyman" from Double Exposure (1976). Great messages both.

The day after I heard this on WJPC (Chicago's greatest AM soul station) I went to the Zayre in Joliet and bought it. Probably for about four bucks! Haha. Still got the album too! "Everyman" is another great cut on that disc. I'll bet I was the only white kid in America that bought it, and probab...

That's Lee Meredith, who would be considered smoking hot in ANY decade. And to think they cast Uma Whatshername in that part in the newer version? Talk about a down grade, but then I didn't think much of the remake anyhow.

@spm1021 Really!? You'd pit Sarah Palin against Tina Fey in a contest of smarts? Wow! I'd pay $49.95 to see that debate. Palin's only chance would be if the topic was being a dumb-ass, celebrity whore, failed politician from the great state of Alaska. And for the record, Tina Fey's got a pretty n...

@rw5791 The A's were lucky that Melton (the reining HR King) ruptured a disc in "72, or the Sox would have easily made up those 5 games, and won the West. In 1973, Allen broke his leg, as well as May and Henderson spending time on the DL, or the Sox would have won the West again! And Allen would ...

@WanderingChild999 Love's Theme came out when soaring instrumentals like this were not usually produced (1974). Most instrumentals were expanded versions of TV cop show themes, etc. It's actually a well done piece of music, with a full orchestra (not canned or synthesized, i.e. current music). Y...

@dclaymoore I don't believe for a moment that he ever did anything to any of those kids. The parents of those kids were the real criminals, because they used MJ's naiveté to exploit him for money. Would any responsible adult actually settle out of court for money if they truly believed their chil...

@Zippertheslipper

Not the Stylistics of the early 70's, but rather the Delfonics of the late 60's.

I was 15 in '76, painting business windows to make a few bucks in Joliet, Il. I still got this 45, bought it at Duke's Record Shop. How's that for an old school shout out? LOL!

Fuck Raf, pure euro-techno trash. Besides, any way you cut it, it's just a pop song!

I really love this show, but seriously, how many times has Archer been shot, stabbed, etc.? He must have 25 pints of blood coursing through his veins. Great show!

I think the saddest thing about this segment is that given the current state of the public school system in this country, and it's utter lack of commitment toward providing a viable education to the masses, not one in 100,000 Americans could write such a letter. Beyond even that, I doubt that oth...

How good is Wayne Rogers? And always under-rated, too. When he left M*A*S*H, that show just wasn't the same. And yet Rogers' body of work is surprisingly small. I wonder who he pissed off in Hollywood?

@Loonykillaz Then go away.

I hate to burst anyone's bubble here, but this is not "Philly", it's "It doesn't matter" from their 1979 release "Morning Dance". "Philly" was on 1980's "Catching the Sun" album. This IS a nice tune, but "Philly" is better.

@chickenbutt912 You really are a moron of historic proportions. Dick Allen, or Richie Allen, was one of the most ferocious sluggers to ever play baseball. I took his name for my handle because as a kid in 1972 I watched him win the AL MVP, and was impressed by how he took a team of nobody's and n...

I once heard some idiot rock-n-roll DJ try to say that this record was Motown's/Stevie Wonder's attempt to compete with the Beatles "Michelle". I laughed my ass off! The Beatles song is so dishpan weak and plaintive, while My Cherie Amour is so layered with color and atmosphere and hope. Everythi...

What I find amazing that when this huge album came out, this song was widely ignored while others got tremendous airplay, even though I think this is one of the best of the two discs combined. "Thanks" to Louise Williams back in '76 who first played it for me.

@darronstrandsoul No disrespect to your opinion of the Sylvers, but I think you're way off base. I don't think they ever saw themselves as some sort of J5 wannabe, and as someone who was around then I don't think they were ever perceived that way. They had a different sound is all, and I do have...

I think it's the most "human" movie he's ever done. And I mean that in a good way. Eastwood's a great director and a pretty good actor, and rarely misses with his movies. But in Bronco Billy you really end up liking him because you learn more about this character than in other Eastwood movies whe...

My mom used to play Andy Williams on our old hi-fi on the nights when my dad worked 3 to 11 at GAF, and we would have to go and pick him up at work. We hardly ever watched TV, it was always reading and listing to music. Thanks mom, RIP.

This song always makes me think of our Family Picnics in the 60's when all my aunts and uncles were alive and well. The food and family, the big softball game, the way all of us cousins would run around the park, it was all so great. So many are gone now. RIP Mom, Grandma, Uncle John and Billy, a...

What I absolutely love about this movie the most, is that you buy into it. It doesn't insult your intelligence, even though it is a movie about a vampire running amok in Las Vegas. LOL!

A really scary movie all done with atmosphere, good acting and background music, and not one smidge of CGI (I know it didn't really exist then). Point is, why can't Hollywood make anything decent anymore? It's all in-your-face, look at my crotch, hear me use four-letter words where they make no s...

@UncleMikeNJ I know! i thought i was gonna see a 60-year old Dick Allen jack one. LOL!

@kingofdaundaworld So what are we arguing about.........? I think we both dig the sound of the early 70's the same amount. I wonder if either DeVaughn or Mayfield ever commented on it back in the day somewhere?
