 Makes me want to Hustle--and I can't dance!

The much-maligned disco era produced some great music, and this album proves it. Van McCoy was a genius, and this album reminds us of how much we lost with his premature death--and of how much remains.
The first time I heard "The Hustle," I made sure to memorize the melody so I could find out what it was and buy the record. This infectious song is a true classic, a masterpiece of arranging and performing as well as composing. As in all great tunes, the slight undertone of melancholy in this happy song gives it depth and memorability. It is one of my all-time favorite songs in any genre.
Other favorites of mine are "Love at First Sight," "Hey Girl" and "Night Walk," but each listener will have his own. The music is so energizing it makes me wish I could dance, and makes me glad to be alive. Nobody was better than McCoy at blending the orchestra with rock instruments, and at choosing just the right instrument to play a solo part. The remastering of the album is superb; it's hard to believe these recordings were made decades ago.
You don't have to like disco to love Van; you just need to appreciate catchy melodies and insistent rhythms. I defy anyone to disike this CD. I wish McCoy had lived to create more, but I'm glad we have what we do. Thank you very much, Van. I'll bet "The Hustle" is on every jukebox in Heaven. |

| Van McCoy's music was very happy,uplifting,and melodic.Originally on the Avco/H&L"Hugo&Luigi label.This compilation comes to you via the folks at"Amherst Records in Buffalo,New York.The remastering is superb on this compilation.I would suggest that anyone who is a fan of the 70's era genre of dance music,add this to their collection.Most people probably don't know that McCoys"Hustle"was the first 12"inch record ever produced commercially!Love is the answer was also available as a 12"single.The only suggestion I would have for the folks at "Amherst Records"Is to release your next Van McCoy compilation with the original long versions of these timeless classics! |

and classy CD is this one here. I only knew 3 Songs before, obviously the Hustle, The Shuffle (still probably one of my all time favorite songs ever) and Soul Cha Cha. Besides the Super Hustle Mix (Song Nbr 1) of The Hustle, they are all original recordings and thanks to digitally remastering they sound superb! If you only know Van McCoy because of the Hustle and if you love it as much as i do, then go ahead and buy this CD, you won't regret it and *Keep On Hustlin'" :-)
