Wanna know what the #1 R&B/Soul record was the day you were born?
Edited on Thu Nov-25-04 04:47 PM by NightTrain
Post your DOB and I'll tell ya!

Here's mine:

March 20, 1966: Wilson Pickett, "634-5789."

One caveat: The Billboard R&B chart debuted on October 24, 1942. So if you were born prior to that day, I unfortunately can't help you. Sorry! :shrug:

As I wrote in another thread: the more I learn about the current crop of American teen-agers, the more concerned I become that they'll grow up to be the most Puritan generation since the 1930s or '40s. :scared:

I was not in anyway being a prude! I do not need to justify my music tastes and neither do you. I, my personal self, do not feel the same way about Prince as you, there is nothing wrong with that. I was, like I said, teasing.

74. no offence taken, but do me baby is a lot of things, but never sad
and for the year you were born in r+b wise, you're lucky to pull a prince song.
you gotta have perspective, it was an inner city down and dirty r+b vibe those years, there was a lotta of r+b co-opted into disco/pop/electronica and well, maybe you had to listen to WBLS and the Quiet Storm to understand

55. Elvis did a Rockabilly version of "Money Honey" on his first RCA album.
It's the best-known version of that song, but to my ears the Drifters did it better.

Can't readily recall that one, so I can't tell you if it's awful or not. But judging by most of what Ms. Labelle recorded in the '80s, it's
safe to assume that "If You Only Knew" was Adult Contemporary vomit!

Two fantastic sounds by two of the very best pre-rock 'n' roll vocal groups. IMHO, at least!

I must admit, I've never heard that one! Or it just left no impression on me. :shrug:

85. Al Green, "Let's Stay Together."
The day you were born, Al Green's signature was spending its second of nine weeks at #1 on the Soul chart. It also spent a single week atop the Billboard "Hot 100" pop survey.

And you're right about the "Newbies are people, too" part! That's why I decided to do this again. Hell, I can't even remember how long ago the last time was!

89. Fats Domino, "Blueberry Hill."
With 11 weeks at #1, "Blueberry Hill" was one of the top two R&B hits of 1956. (The other was the Platters' "The Great Pretender.")

95. May 16, 1959. Also, would you look up for my son?
February 25, 1997--he seems to share my love for R&B.

I was wishing you could program my satellite TV station R&B channel today--all 1980s--eek.

They only rescued themselves with "Papa Was a Rolling Stone."

Used to be a department store here in Columbus called Lee's, and they used the song for their radio commercials. I thought it was just a commercial jingle for so many years...but an incredibly cool one. What memories that brings back...

Thanks, NightTrain!!!!! :yourock:

Unfortunately, my folks were way too square to go there.

Oh well, at least I got to come of age in the 80s-- stupid haircuts, 'new wave' music, John Hughes movies, bad heavy metal and mullets. And yes, I had one for a while, so I'm immune from future mullet 'infestation'. :dunce:

138. That's pretty interesting.
Hubband says thanks! He picked up a Willie Mabon 78 a couple months back, but it wasn't "I Don't Know". That is one that he often sings around the house though, so that makes it doubly cool.

BTW, we checked out your website and are going to give a listen tomorrow night.
