We can't all like the same thing, in fact it's a good thing that we don't!

thanks for posting them Snakepit. I must admit I know next to nothing about Van McCoy apart from his work with David Ruffin and of course I remember Do The Hustle when I was kid.

Totally agree ...

It would be an awful world if we all liked the same things, there would be no innovation and we would all end up listening to the same hundred or so "masterpieces" ... one or two radio stations are a bit like that already ...

Three Van McCoy tunes/productions from me ....

An unlikely UK chart hit in '64/5

One that was tipped to chart in '73 ...

And from the sublime to the ridiculous .... a bit of Disco ... not me talking on the intro (honest)!!

Probably best known via the instrumental version. I got my copy of "Sweet And Easy" about 1971/2 and it wasn't until years later that I found out what the vocal version was ...

Betty is one that sometimes I like, sometime I don't. Today I don't!
