and yes i have this Album in my collection...lol
The first rap song commercially released, September 1979, by The Sugar Hill Gang, as opposed to "underground" rap back in the late 70's, as far as I know...
This was the first commercially successful rap record but this one was recorded and released a few months earlier
A selection of others that will be played at my funeral/celebration of life
"Bulletproof Soul" by Sade
"Back to Life" by Soul II Soul
"In My Time of Dying" by Led Zeppelin
"I Saw the Light" by Todd Rundgren
The entire Off the Wall LP will be played at the wake as well. I'll post more later.
interesting inclusion of Todd Rundgren.....a wide variance of musical tastes on your part....much more than mine....post a couple more dougie
Eddie..."when a Man loves a Woman" is definetly his signature song...........i own 4 Albums recorded by him..i bought them as a teen in real time....im a fan of sappy Soul ballads and Percy was a master of them.....but hey i like some "tough" loud rocking tunes as well ..lol
I used to go to à dance club in my younger days called Club Trocadero every friday night and they featured R & B songs, mostly slow sexy ballads so I spent most of my early times there learning how to dance to them, featuring groups like the Temptations, Chi Lites, Platters and many other singers. All i can say is i met some great sexy looking girls who knew how to grind to those great songs. LOL.
