Best Of 70s Soul: Get Up And Dance
 |
| Martijn Soetens |
I Love Music by The O’Jays was written by legendary Philadelphian producers Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff and went to number one on the soul singles chart and reached number five on the Billboard Hot 100. In the UK the song peaked at number 13 on the pop chart, in March 1976. Although the track is a classic now, it did not appear on any chart in the Netherlands at the time. In fact, the only Philly group that made it big on the Dutch charts were The Three Degrees, who went to number one with Dirty Ol’ Man in 1973.
Next up is a new part of Mellow Mellow FM Radio to celebrate 100 years of radio in the Netherlands. On the 6th of November 1919 engineer Hanso Idzerda started to broadcast music to a large audience, which was not done before. He was killed by the Germans in World War II after taking away pieces of a crashed V2 missile out of curiosity.
