:lol: :lol: :lol: Yeah, right. I thought we'd moved past the "bi" thing sticking your toes in the water stuff. I know anytime I had a man tell me he was "bi" I told him to back the hell up and leave me alone! :lol:

I'm listening to glistening orchestral soul today, Ronnie Dyson "If You Let Me Make Love To You (Then Why Can't I Touch You)" Sylph, you'll love the strings in this one:

This song was from the broadway show "Salvation". the show wans't a huge hit, but this song was, going to number 8 in the spring of 1970.

The sorta skipping elfin quality? :P Are you calling me homophobic :P I actually don't think his music's too good--it is a LOT like Scissor Sisters--the mix of disco hommage with Elton John hommage--but he doesn't want to alienate the middle aged mothers and young girls so doesn't even have a bit of their edge or sense of fun (I mean he did a single that was a song to overweight girls and how beautiful they are which is a good message but the song was so simplistic random that it seemed insulting to me). I don't think hes' a very good songwriter.

I'm falling in love with another new discovery of mine from the 70's, Richard Barnes:

This song barely squeaked into the UK top 40, but DAMN if he and it aren't GORGEOUS. This song kind of reminds of early Bee Gees hits.

My good friend Stephanie Campbell did a great interview with legendary record industry mixer Tom Moulton, responsible for the mixes of so many legendary disco hits, and the inventor of the 12 inch single. Interesting interview !:

This is one of my favorite dance mixes by Tom, the dance mix of Grace Jones' "I Need a Man" from 1977:
