Softones

That Old Black Magic (12")

RECORD LABEL / RELEASE INFO:

H & L Records (US) / 1976 / HLS 2001
12" Disco single 45 RPM vinyl

STUDIO CREDITS:

Producer:
n/a

Arranged and conducted by Horace Ott

TRACKLISTING:

Side A
Van McCoy : Love Is the Answer (8:08)

Side B
The Softones : That Old Black Magic (7:00)

NOTES:

A so-so track at best by the Softones. Flip the record over for the superb "Love Is the Answer" by Van McCoy. If we take the catalogue number for what it is then it appears as if this would have been Hugo and Luigi's first 12 inch single.

I must be tone deaf. Bernie calls this a "so-so track at best" and I have always loved this song. I recently put it on a mixed CD for a friend and he told me he had to skip by it because the guy singing sounded like an Idol reject? I think I spent too many years with a head phone stuck in my left ear. It's still one of my favorites from that period though.

"So-so?" Yeah, I suppose it's not terribly inspired. But it's well enough done, considering how deliciously campy the song was to begin with!
