The year 1971 was the high point in popular music for those coming of age at that time. Not for those who came earlier or later.

Depending on your age, you are going to be impressed with this list of 1971 LP releases, I know I am. Thanks for sharing tony1954, thought provoking.

"Oh, and old school disco is back! Who doesn't love the Shuggie Otis "Strawberry Letter #23" as covered by the Bros Johnson? :)"

whart- it was the fabulous outfits that made the Brothers Johnson way hip!

I pull that album out now and then when friends "in the know" are visiting.

It was in heavy rotation back in 1977 on the Soul radio station.

How about some Ohio Players for extra funky groove?

 

some folks sayin that 70s music best, some sayin 60s music and some sayin 80's, but i really don't understand them at all and continue to listen and finding great new stuff every day even more than once per day.
