You keep on pushing those boundaries don't you Marky! Even the threat of being sued in cyber court years ago didn't faze you!!!

Congratulations on breaking 5000 and for all your great posts and comp lists. I guess that makes you a Triple Diamond member??? Seriously, I never even though that high when I began this forum back in the 90s. What to do? There's no denying that you are single-handedly "the forum." Congrats again.

Gee thanks Bernie & Discodisk for the kind words!!! Who thought I would be able to type 5,000 posts when I ran outtta new things to say at about 1,999???? :lol: :P

Triple Diamond, eh??? I must drink a toast of champagne tonight to my pals at discomusic.com who keep me entertained and occasionally even send me things and who on occasion I even chat with on the phone and have, in the case of Jeff, actually met!!!!!!! :D

Thanks to Bernie--you make it all possible. :D :D :D

To remicks.....once upon a time, I was makin' fun of "someone" (who, me?) and he said he'd acquired a lawyer and threatened to "cyber-sue " me if I didn't remove my posts!!!!!! If I recall correctly, Tall Paul & Nano said they'd testify for me in cybercourt!!!!! Toooooooo silly!!!!!!! Ah, those were the days!!!

OK.... today's chart/column is done for your reading pleasure; it's above where I started it last night. I typed it in Word as Mixmachine suggested and it all worked out quite well. Thanks again for the tip.
:D
I now have a book with the Top 10 Pop charts for each week. Do you want all 10 items or is 5 enough? Or should I just add the disco-related titles??? Just wonderin' what to do....

January 17, 1976:

41) (R) SHAKE ME, WAKE ME (When It's Over) - Barbra Streisand
(Columbia 45/ 12' promo) (4 points/ B)
5 weeks on the chart/RETURN (N/A)


I think that was it--5 weeks total.

I'm wondering if La Streisand's dipping her toe into the disco pool might have helped convince Miss Ross to try a dance tune also (the just charted 'Love Hangover"--2/28/76) Streisand was the career role model for Miss Ross--she wanted to be the black Streisand. Berry Gordy tried his best to make this happen. And it did...sorta....but Streisand still has a recording career and Miss Ross has, at the present time, lost hers. :cry: :evil:

MOTIVATION:

"Hey, Diana..Barbra's on the DISCO CHARTS....uh, she's one-upped ya one more time....." :P

So Streisand was the first DIVA to go disco, Bette Midler got to the charts a couple weeks before Miss Ross. Liza Minnelli never got the hang of this until she worked with the Pet Shop Boys in the Nineties (ER, I guess it was actually 1989)...and then there's CHER...who will hit in 1979...3 years down the pike. THE FIVE DIVAS GAYS WORSHIPPED & ADORED (well, before DONNA, anyway.)

P.S. and now in 2005--BARBRA is back on the Dance charts!!!

so ....shake me wake me then ......'cause it is over !!?? :(

That's too bad . I had only a faint interest in the song ..... because I thought it was probably some poppish , sort of disco song like some others that barely charted then ....figured it probably just got some push in some of the foo-fooey gay bars then :P (we are talking Streisand here)

But now I've heard it.... and what a tremendous surprise !! Flat out disco .... Gloria Gaynor disco .... with a hint of " LADY BUMP ". Playing it over and over right now along with her new one ....

I can't understand why it didn't fair better ????????

By the way ..... did you intentionally leave out Miss Gaynor in those Diva mentions ? ....oh you're talking about the divas who turned to disco group ....
