Members quartermainefan Posted January 14, 2011 Members Share Posted January 14, 2011 I have this song on my iPod. As a bit of trivia, this song is considered the first Disco song to go #1. I love early disco when it was fun and silly. Later disco became more about the thump thump thump of the beat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SFK Posted January 14, 2011 Members Share Posted January 14, 2011 She's someone who used to always be on TV in the early '80s, that impossibly long hair etched in childhood memory. I know Dallas, the show and its Cowboys, had a lot to do with it, but there really was this country craze back then. We used to watch The Barbara Mandrell Show and Hee-Haw, I remember the Oakridge Boys and Kenny and Dolly and all of them being on TV a lot when I was little. And of course her big sis "Lorettie" ("Dooooooo!")! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted January 14, 2011 Members Share Posted January 14, 2011 Yes, I love the whole country/country-pop renaissance of the early 80s. There's a nice, almost escapist sound to the music and the movies/TV that came out of it. You know Pam Ewing was shaking that flat ass to some Crystal Gayle when nobody else was home! Here's one of my fave Barbara songs: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members alphanguy74 Posted January 15, 2011 Members Share Posted January 15, 2011 (edited) Yes, that's such a great period in music. Lynn Anderson's "Rose Garden" really opened up crossover country, and then Dolly's "Here You Come Again" blew it into the stratosphere. I watched the Mandrell Sisters every week, and Dolly's 1976 variety show as well. That time had so many great songs, and even some one hit wonders that were really memorable, at least for me (She sounds alot like Barbara Mandrell) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47gdtmWF_tA&feature=related Edited January 15, 2011 by alphanguy74 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted January 16, 2011 Members Share Posted January 16, 2011 Love Crystal Gayle! I remember a sneering journalist once wrote a book saying she was famous only for her hair and sister and belonged in Vegas, and wasn't real country, but I think she has a great country soul and I also like that she doesn't rely on all that awful schtick like Gretchen Wilson and never tried to pander. Some of my favorite songs of hers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePnW-MxubNs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsdgOWC4JyI&feature=related 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
