1. Rock Steady - Whispers 2
This lot did make some cracking records in their earlier days, but this wasn't all that good, sadly...
2. Isn't It Time - Babys 4
Super song...did hardly anything here!
3. Mandy - Barry Manilow 4
Okay, I like a lot of Barry's stuff - there! I've said it! Fantastic re-write (of sorts) of Scott English's 'Brandy' with superb 'big' ending...
4. Into The Night - Benny Mardones ?
I've been caught out with this twice! Still not got a copy yet, but am working on it...
5. Yakety Yak - The Coasters 4
Not their best, but not a million miles away...brilliant piece of frantic stuff which was probably laid down in one take!
6. Delta Dawn - Helen Reddy 3
Nicely done, but not her best...
7. Superstar - The Carpenters 4
Fantastic arrangement of Leon Russell's work with that voice on top form...
8. Laughter In The Rain - Neil Sedaka 4
Great 'comeback' song (had he ever been away?) - still extremely good...
9. Believe - Cher 1
Hm...probably low marks all round due to overplay, but that horrible 'vocoder' thing makes me turn off...
10. Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves - Cher 4
Now, that's better! Possibly a bit dated for some, but does me all right! mandamoo? I've got this on 45, 33, tape, CD, wax cylinder...
11. La Bamba - Los Lobos 3
Liked it at the time, still okay now and again - but that was before I discovered the delights of the original! Acoustic gee-tar freak-out at the end was a bit needless...
12. Duke Of Earl - Gene Chandler 5
Great stuff! And one of those records that everyone over here knows, but it has never charted!
13. Grease - Frankie Valli 4
Did sound slightly out of place on the soundtrack, but a fine song and performance nonetheless...
14. It Must Have Been Love - Roxette 4
Attractive song, but spoiled a bit by the 'big' production and blanket overplay...
15. Don't Mean Nothing - Richard Marx 4
Good rousing number from the man in his 'big hair and leather jacket' days...
Fine ol' selection there, CF...

I do remember this - it's a good song so I'll give it a 4.5 ... and now I can't stop singing it. :-X
