Hitstory Of The 70's - Volume 2 (Cass, Comp).
Various artists, The Harder They Come soundtrack (1973) There was a lot more to the early years of reggae than Bob Marley & the Wailers, and the best of the rest is brilliantly summarized on this soundtrack album for one of the best fictional music films ever made.

Commodores' "Still" (1979); Neil Diamond and Barbra Streisand's "You Don't Bring Me Flowers" (1978); Debby Boone's "You Light Up My Life" (1977); Minnie Riperton's "Lovin' You" (1975); Streisand's "The Way We Were" (1974); Roberta Flack's "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" and Nilsson's "Without.

Yet one of the most iconic no wave tunes, James Chance & the Contortions’ Contort Yourself, is less an anti-song than a body-moving dance-craze ditty. Now is time to lose all control/Distort your body, twist your soul, Chance yelps over the tightly wound groove of his quintet, who sound like an unhinged version of James Brown’s band the . It divided the listeners of Eno’s first solo album, Here Come the Warm Jets, into those who got it and those who were left eating its ashes. The ’70s yielded countless songs about falling in love, but few are as blissful as this. Listen: The Spinners: Could It Be I’m Falling in Love.
