BRILLIANT SONG AND BAND! - one of just a handful sung from a dead man's perspective. The Highwaymen also pulled that off.

It;s actually from Summer '75

This song is perfect for blasting out of your car radio on the open highway, screaming at the top of your lungs. And how about that held note by Joe Pizzulo? Wow!

You too, BADOklaOutlaw (cool name). I'll keep you in my prayers. If you're right and they have no effect, no harm done. If I'm right, hopefully it'll help down the road. All the best!

One of the best disco songs ever. Hypnotic, minor-key melody!

@helluva1 I LOVE "Turn It Up" and always wondered what happened to your sister, Raja-Nee. Her vocal in this great song is unique in that it is both smooth and rough at the same time, especially at the end with all that attitude! Would love to know more about the artist - where is she from? What's...

I still love the original by MFSB the best, but this one is great!!!!

My favorite of Gene Cotton's many cool tracks. Eerie lyrics, great guitar solo and a simple, effective melody. Gene is from Columbus, Ohio.

That bop-ba-da-da-dee-da-da section in the middle is killer! Excellent song!

My favorite from the band as well. Great melody, especially in the chorus.

This song should be included in every Christmas collection - it's simple, elegant, heartbreaking and absolutely beautiful.

Heard this in the Spring of ;78 on WPLJ in New York City - terrific track! I actually have the 45, which has a totally different beginning!

FANTASTIC RECORD! Remember hearing this on WOLF radio in Syracuse, NY when I was growing up. Terrific!

My favorite Big Country song from my favorite Big Country album, "Steel Town." fantastic message and musically perfect.

My favorite song of all-time - from the great summer of 1980. You simply don't hear pitch-perfect production like this today. A pop masterpiece!

A bunch of white guys from Ohio who had MAD soul!

This is a BRILLIANT song! It's distinguished by bluegrass sensibilities and overlapping vocals a la "The Weight" by The Band.

One of the best songs from the '90s. How could this not be a smash?!?

Very cool song - got airplay in upstate NY in the summer of '82

Has all the disco elements - awesome!

Bruce Blackman rules! I always loved his music, from Starbuck to Korona to Choice and back to Starbuck. This is a gorgeous record that would have been perfectly in place as the bridge in an '80s romantic comedy. There's a faster version on a Starbuck album before Bruce wisely decided to slow it d...

This sounded SO GOOD on the radio when it was rarely played. Super Boston band and a fantastic tune!

Alzo was just as talented as Paul Simon, Jim Croce and all his other contemporaries. It's a huge injustice his music is still stuck in relative obscurity.

BRILLIANT ARTIST! The world is the lesser for never having discovered him.

"Alzo" was a Brooklyn native and this BRILLIANT song builds beautifyully, using so many instruments, including banjo, to perfection!

HIs follow-up single "We Can't Stay Like This Forever" was very good too, though this was his best! GREAT stuff from a terrific year in music!

I have only recently discovered the brilliance of Mr. Pagliaro - this song gives me CHILLS! I knew "What the Hell I Got" from my summers in Upstate NY when I used to pick up great Canadian radio stations such as CHML and CKLW but this one is my favorite. He should've been HUGE!

Bobby - I also saw your 1971 "Soul Train" performance for the first time. Why on earth did this song not take off? Philips dropped the ball big time. That is a million dollar voice, my friend! I would LOVE to add this to my collection, if only it were available. iTunes, are you listening?
