Thanks a lot Mike for doing the spotify playlist, i am going to listen the heck out of that this week
Could I just make one humble request please? can you swap that godawful new version of 'let's lovedance tonight' with the original as found on the Keep On Dancin' album? Thanks!

'Tis done. I thought I'd been thwarted, but it's on as "Let's Love Dance Tonight".

I was dying to nom "I'll Bet You," but it originally came out as a single in 1969. Did we decide the rules about records like that?

If it came out late in 1969 and charted in 1970 it's fine by me. I can't check every single release date, though, so let me know if something has slipped through. off-topic: what's a good site for chart statistics?
― ArchCarrier, Wednesday, 22 March 2017 06:52 (seven years ago) link
song-database.com is good and accurate for billboard charts (tho not complete for all charts). if you view too many chart trajectories, tho, it'll start asking you to register and pay lol. to avoid that i usually just search for the artist or song i wanna look up and just look at the peak or debut date/peak date that i'm seeking out (w/o clicking on the chart trajectory). for example typing "i'll bet you" into the songs search bar tells me that it entered the chart in the oct. 4, 1969 issue and peaked at #63 in the nov. 1 issue.
for approximate 45rpm single release date estimates i usually look at 45cat.com since the ppl entering info there seem to know their shit and like to quibble over totally trivial shit like months of release, matrix numbers, when it was reviewed in trade journals and other things i don't care about. anyway that site sez the 45 for "i'll bet you" was issued in august '69.

That's more the CSNY type of soul. One of These Nights IS a disco song. At least as much as Hotel California is a reggae song. Which might mean not enough for this poll but whatever.
