This thread is useless without album art.

No, really - that's the album art.

BoPo: you took the words right out of my mouth. I wonder if this record is legal under the Geneva Convention.

I just played this for my grandmother, she kinda liked it. She's 83 though...

Hollygoheavy, I actually kind of like Ethel's regular stuff, but mixing it with disco...just a bad idea.

I ... don't have the balls to click any of those links. Not until I've had a few more cans of Narragansett.

Why not? My mom grew up in the big-band era and liked a lot of Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark. Some of it sorta swung okay for that genre.

I vaguely remember Patti Page covering her own hit "Mockin'bird Hill" as a disco song. For what it was, it wasn't bad at all.
