ARTIST SPOTLIGHT #9 - FAITH, HOPE & CHARITY

[efunk_adelic]

Faith, Hope & Charity was one of those artist produced by Van McCoy in the early days of disco.

They managed to hit it big with a #5 hit TO EACH HIS OWN which is a bonifide disco classic. The only other song that I can say I like is from 1970 SO MUCH LOVE on MAXWELL RECORDS.

You're My Peace of Mind and Don't Pity Me are my favorites from this group.

"The best of business when you got no business is to mind your business."

I love that shit, the attitude is too fierce. But, "YMPOM" is my fave from them with "Don't Pity Me" being the sleaze cut. Gotta have the sleaze, efunk. :D

I have been in SW Florida since August working with the disaster relief effort. 7 days a week, 12 hours a day, not much energy left for posting....

Was there a 12" of "Don't Pity Me"?

[JussiK]

When you mention "You're My Peace of Mind" I assume you are talking about the full 10 minute 12" version, are you not? If not, you better seek a copy out as it's truly massive, and with the vinyl you get 3 additional if lesser tracks, too.
