Free Music Notes for The Hustle & The Best Of Van McCoy
Free Music Review: Makes me want to Hustle--and I can't dance!
Hit: 5 Stars
The much-maligned disco era produced some great music, and this album proves it. Van McCoy was a genius, and this album reminds us of how much we lost with his premature death--and of how much remains.
The first time I heard "The Hustle," I made sure to memorize the melody so I could find out what it was and buy the record. This infectious song is a true classic, a masterpiece of arranging and performing as well as composing. As in all great tunes, the slight undertone of melancholy in this happy song gives it depth and memorability. It is one of my all-time favorite songs in any genre.
Other favorites of mine are "Love at First Sight," "Hey Girl" and "Night Walk," but each listener will have his own. The music is so energizing it makes me wish I could dance, and makes me glad to be alive. Nobody was better than McCoy at blending the orchestra with rock instruments, and at choosing just the right instrument to play a solo part. The remastering of the album is superb; it's hard to believe these recordings were made decades ago.
You don't have to like disco to love Van; you just need to appreciate catchy melodies and insistent rhythms. I defy anyone to disike this CD. I wish McCoy had lived to create more, but I'm glad we have what we do. Thank you very much, Van. I'll bet "The Hustle" is on every jukebox in Heaven.
