"so-called jazz compositions must contain at most 10% syncopation" (Nazis' instruction to Czech dance bands during their occupation)

your phraseology reminds me of Enid Blyton saying that somebody's nose was "over-long" in a book written during the Second World War (with its obvious overtones of the British aristocratic interest in eugenics)

funk is to Hongro what jazz was to the Nazis. had he been around in the 40s he'd have been calling Vidkun Quisling a saviour of his people.

you clearly know ABSOLUTELY FUCK ALL about the interconnectedness of all the elements within Nazism. your post reads like you only learnt today that Nazi Germany ever actually existed at all. "uninteresting" is also a fucking tasteless word to use to describe such a murderous doctrine as Nazism. to infer such things is to move closer and closer to being David Irving.

My musical views, however, like Hitlers, are very "German", in that I like the idea of "absolute music", and of music as an intellectual thing, something that appeals to your head rather than your body, which is very much the same thing that Brahms or Mendelsohn would have spoken about in the 19th century. Obviously, this "German" heritage may have appealed to Hitler, but you can't call Brahms, Mendelsohn, or even Wagner, nazis just because Hitler later shared their musical views.

Of course, the entire idea of a politician banning a style of music just because he doesn't like it (for "objective" reasons or not) is completely absurd and grotesque. And, I mean, even as much as I hate the idea of 12 tone music, having 12 note composers killed because of their music was, well... ... quite undescribable, really...

if you cannot answer the question that i asked, hongro, then get off this thread. i'm not interested in your views on musical purity, nor is anyone else on this board. go and talk about them somewhere else please.
thank you.

How many number one hits did Motown have?How many number one hits did Philly have?
I think you have to take that into consideration too when you look at the number of compilations etc...

During that time, Motown artists like Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye were getting away from Motown model of producer/artist and making the calls themselves.
What Gamble and Huff were trying to do was completely based upon how Motown was run, but they had their own production sound, which many producers of that period seemed to emulate. Bowie even tried to channel their sound somewhat on "Young Americans", which says how influential their sound became.

Anyhow, Philly soul (great btw) gave way to 'disco' (not good, as in bee gees/whitebread stuff). That was what was bad. 'disco' eventually gave way to idunno better stuff.
FWIW, i never liked chic/beegees/etc, but things got better. oh yes they did.
