Lady Mystique: If only you knew! 1971 was one of the best years for soul/R&B and what Mike Boone shared with us was just a sample of the good stuff I heard during that year. Here are some other 1971 classics - Theme From Shaft - Isaac Hayes Maybe Tomorrow - Jackson 5 Got To Be There - Michael Jackson Have You Seen Her - Chi-lites I Want To Pay You Back For Loving Me - Chi-lites Drowning In The Sea Of Love - Joe Simon Mercy Mercy Me - Marvin Gaye Inner City Blues - Marvin Gaye Remember Me - Diana Ross I Don't Blame You At All - Smokey Robinson & the Miracles If You Really Love Me - Stevie Wonder Mr. Big Stuff - Jean Knight Groove Me - King Floyd Stop Look Listen (To Your Heart) - Stylistics I Don't Want To Do Wrong - Gladys Knight & the Pips I Just Want To Celebrate - Rare Earth Love The One You're With - Isley Brothers Whatcha See Is Whatcha Get - Dramatics Show Me How - Emotions Blind Alley - Emotions Kevin Goins - KevGo | ||

I graduated from high school in June of 1971. The song titles in this thread are a real trip down memory lane for me. | ||

"EXTRA, EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT" "I'm gonna get it in the want ads" (I think it goes something like that) The Honey Cone's were slamming in that jam! But in reading that list, 1971 was truly an important year for me and it brought back so many memories. Some good, some not so good. But most were good, just learning life and the songs help make the imprints. The Chi-lites and The Stylistics got the romance going, BIG TIME! Thanks Chancellor of Soul for reliving the good times. | ||
