A cover of a 1975 song?

[edit]

IS this true? The original was by Napoleon Jones featuring David Christie? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.90.63.158 (talk) 21:50, 22 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Gay subtext

[edit]

I reverted to an earlier version after an unnamed user added a section on the possibility of a gay subtext to the lyrics of "I Love to Love." I think it's an interesting theory, but it is just a theory, not one with any cited source. If someone can provide such a source, that would be great. But it represents original research, and, thus, I would argue shouldn't be included in the article.

A drag I realize. I think fan analysis can be very insightful, but Wikipedia really isn't the place for this.

Chart placings in the U.S.

[edit]

I'm not sure about the veracity of the claim that "I Love to Love" was a number 2 hit on the U.S. Billboard dance charts. As much as I might like for the song to have been a hit in the States (a classic pop tune), wishing doesn't make it so.

If Joel Whitburn's Hot Dance/Disco 1974-2003 (Menomonee Falls, Wisc., U.S.: Billboard/Record Research, 2004; ISBN: 0-89820-156-X) is to be believed--and I think it is--only Record World compiled a national dance music club play chart, the "Disco File Top 20," from March 29, 1975, to August 21, 1976, the era when "I Love to Love" would have likely been a hit in the States (p. 7).

During this same period, Billboard "did not compile a national disco chart, but instead listed two to three regional charts each week compiled from varying metropolitan cities. On August 28, 1976, Billboard published their first 'National Disco Action Top 30' chart" (p. 7).

According to the book, only "You Set My Heart on Fire" became a hit, logging in at number 3 on the Record World chart in 1975. Perhaps someone can present additional evidence. Having grown up in the States in the 1970s, I can attest to the fact that Charles's records were readily available. I distinctly remember hearing "I'll Go Where Your Music Takes Me" on regular rotation on certain radio stations in my area as well. So it's possible she had other hits; I just can't find any documentation to that fact.
