Big Three in '75 gets topped

[remicks]

*****


Since Bob Crewe was involved in the same three productions as Kenny Nolan ... he could have also been a correct answer to the 3 charted acts in '75 question ...were it not for the ... "never apppearing on the disco chart again " stipulation .... As Marky points out Bob Crewe returns to the charts one more time with his own hit "Street Talk" (as The Bob Crewe Generation ) .......
Actually , Bob Crewe's boasting rights for 1975 are even more impressive than Kenny Nolan's ( although unlike Kenny, he can never claim to be a SEX-O-LETTE which evens out the score !)....

Under his guidence the following songs charted :

"Hollywood Hot" ..The Eleventh Hour
"Get Dancin' " ....Disco ....Tex & the Sex-O- Lettes
"Lady Marmalade" ... Labelle

but it doesn't end there ..Bob Crewe took yet one more act onto the disco charts in 1975 (without Kenny) ... totaling four different acts in all ....... 8) :D


Can you name that fourth performer and the song ?? --- :D ..... good luck ....

Can you name that fourth performer and the song ?? --- :D ..... good

Franki Valli - Swearin' To God

[markydefad]

Those 4 were all in the Top 100 of the year. Quite an accomplishment...then comes "Street Talk" which is a Top 5 record early in 1976...then what? Where'd he go?????

There was also that Gerri Granger remake of Can't Take My Eyes Off You that Crewe originally wrote and produced for Frankie Valli in 1967. This charted for a few weeks...I don't think I've ever heard it...but it was a 12" promo!!!!!

BTW...he was quite a hottie!!! Check the AMG photo. :P

P.S. I also just realized that it's Patti Austin who sings the female solo vocal lines in Swearin' To God!!!!!...As I was listening the other night it just hit me why she did the solo lines on Our Day Will Come (that's another one that charted!!!)...cuz she had performed the same duties on the smash S2G!!!!

Congrats NickNack ...... it is indeed Frankie Valli's "Swearin' To God" !
The Bob Crewe Generation will return to the disco chart in 1976 with "Street Talk" . They had an earlier hit in the 60's ..... "Music To Watch Girls By" :D

Why Bob Crewe disappeared after that ..... ????.... but while Kenny Nolan was writing "Masterpiece" for Atlantic Starr in the mid-eighties ... the slightly above average in the looks dept. :P :P , Bob Crewe, was creating "masterpieces " of a different kind .....
