Thread Name: In Defence of 'Afternoon Delight'
Subject: RE: In Defence of 'Afternoon Delight'
The Starland Vocal Band helped to remind us that the voice is an instrument during a time when techno & disco were all the rage. I quite enjoyed the song, Afternoon Delight, especially considering that I had recently become single & discovered that my exhusband was quite, shall we say, more than a bit of a clumsy ox in the delight department.
If one considers the vast amount of scaryness of the disco era, one might have a listen to the "Ethel Merman Disco Album" before waxing nasty at the Starland Vocal Band.
By the way--I have great respect for Ethel Merman & her terrific talent to entertain.
