Faith, Hope & Charity–To Each His Own /Expert Question

[canadiantire]

This is where my knowledge of disco music ends.

I remember vaguely about this song of the good old days.

Is it considered as part of the disco empire?

Does anyone know if this song made the charts or has it reached the clubs in 1975-76?

The song went to #1 on the R&B Charts and # 50 on the pop charts,and did reach the clubs but from what I can remember they would speed the song up to make it more danceable.

I can take that as an answer!

Thanks.

Thanks.

it also reached #15 in national club play which seems a little disappointing. Also interesting was that it spent 15 weeks on the pop chart which meant that it was a huge hit in certain regions of America.

I wonder if anybody remembers hearing it on radio as part of the normal hits that were being played.

Yeah, radio is where I know the song from (nowhere near club age at the time)
Decent airplay in the NJ area, it's also a skating rink favorite:icon_smile:

It was produced by Van McCoy, so it totally is a disco classic! :)

I discovered it in the early 90s when I came across a copy of a CD of RCA dance tunes (I can't remember the name of it - I bought it because it had Jimmy Castor Bunch's It's Just Begun).

I would've have never heard of it if it wasn't for Soul Train.

I just remember vagly with Don Cornelius saying "and it's Faith, Hope & Charity on the soul train with a groove that makes you wanna move real smooth, they call this one To Each His Own"

Big 12 Inches: More, More, More -> This is precisely where I've discovered this track.

I had this compilation for a long time and now that I am ripping all my stuff in WMA, I happen to listen more carefully to my CDs since I have some time for it.


Thank you all!
