@oldaverich AND WHEN YOU GET DONE looking at 5/7/77, look at 12/24/77, pg 144. That's the day Billboard recommended David Oliver - Friends and Strangers as a hot up and coming single. Can we PLEASE put this to rest? Because 5 means May and 12 means December...and May comes a week or two before December. The song was ORIGINALLY Ronnie Laws'. Oliver added lyrics when he covered it.

@ladybret OK, I was wrong. Ronnie Laws - Friends and Strangers album first charted at #43 on Billboard Top Soul LPs on May 7, 1977. I was a week off, but it was released the end of April. SEARCH THE BILLBOARD ARCHIVE SITE FOR MAY 7,1977 PAGE 66. NOW, find proof that the David Oliver album came out before this. Alas, you cannot.

@ladybret YES, the Ronnie Laws album first CHARTED on April 30, 1977. Which means it was released in April. Again, Billboard. Do your homework and quit arguing with me.

@oldaverich Oh, if read the production notes on the album, it will tell exactly when and what months months that album recorded. :smile:

@oldaverich , Oh come on now, don't give up. lol Even so, Mr. Laws was in the studio January, February and the end of March 1977 recording "Friends Of Strangers. Now unless, they did a rush job, there's no way that album came out in April of 1977. No way, try again. :)
