Right On, Time


I hope everyone thoroughly enjoyed the albums I posted a few days ago. Today's post has been brought to you by two of the 5th Dimension's former singers, husband and wife Marilyn and Billy. After much success with the 5th Dimension in the early 70s, the pair left the group in 1975 to establish their own careers, releasing this joint album in the process.

This album from 1976 features the popular cut "Nothing Can Stop Me", which has been sampled ad nauseum on the mixtape/underground rap circuit. Less notably, but certainly just as deservedly, the song was also sampled by Jaheim on his debut single "Could It Be" from 2001. Nice.

The lights are going out in this place real soon. You've been warned. (download)

So I need the following albums of "Frederic Mercier"

His music is something like VANGELIS' works.


I hope you can share them with me.

Thanks in advance.
Zalman.

Damn, I wish I had discovered this blog sooner. There's so much wonderful material here, it's ridiculous.

I think you may have inspired me to start my own blog dedicated to the most raw nuggets.

Thanks,

Hopefully you keep it up!
