The stuff that now passes as "music", particularly rock 'n roll, leaves me cold. So, to start off the week, here's a video of a classic rock artist.
To start off the week, we have Van McCoy and his 1975 hit of the disco era, "The Hustle". The first video is of the song is with Pan's People of Tops of the Pops fame in England. The second video is the official one. "The Hustle" went to No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and Hot Soul Singles charts during the summer of 1975.
